Drivers across Delmarva and southern New Jersey should prepare for hazardous conditions as dense fog is expected to blanket the region tonight through Thursday morning.
The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 6 PM this evening until 10 AM Thursday. Visibility will drop to less than one mile in many areas, creating dangerous driving conditions.
The advisory covers all of Delaware’s beaches and inland Sussex County, along with several New Jersey counties including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May. Both coastal and inland areas within these counties will be impacted.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service. Officials are urging drivers to take extra precautions if travel is necessary.
If you must drive tonight or Thursday morning, remember these safety tips: slow down significantly, use your headlights, and maintain extra distance between your vehicle and others on the road.
The fog is expected to lift by 10 AM Thursday morning. Commuters should plan for extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips until conditions improve.
Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the evening and Thursday morning.
