A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for much of the Delmarva Peninsula, with visibility expected to drop to less than one mile starting at 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning.
The National Weather Service has issued the advisory for inland Sussex County and Delaware’s beaches, warning that hazardous driving conditions are likely as dense fog blankets the coastal region.
The advisory also extends into southern New Jersey, covering Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties, including all coastal areas.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service. Officials are urging drivers to take extra precautions during the overnight hours and Thursday morning commute.
If you must drive during the advisory period, remember to slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance between your vehicle and the car ahead of you. Avoid using high beams, which can reflect off the fog and actually reduce visibility.
The fog is expected to gradually lift Thursday morning, with the advisory expiring at 10 AM. 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 tomorrow morning.
