A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for much of the Delmarva region, with visibility dropping to less than one mile starting at 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 1:08 PM today, warning residents across Delaware’s beaches and inland Sussex County, as well as parts of southern New Jersey including Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
The thick fog is expected to create hazardous driving conditions during both the evening and morning commutes. Motorists should exercise extreme caution when traveling tonight and tomorrow morning.
Safety officials urge drivers to slow down, use headlights, and maintain extra following distance between vehicles. If visibility becomes too poor, consider pulling over safely and waiting for conditions to improve.
The fog advisory affects popular coastal areas including Rehoboth Beach, Ocean City, and Cape Henlopen, as well as inland communities throughout Sussex County. Beach towns and coastal highways are expected to see the most significant impacts.
Conditions should begin to improve Thursday morning, with the advisory set to expire at 10 AM. Commuters should allow extra travel time and stay updated on changing conditions through local weather reports.
