Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for hazardous travel conditions as dense fog is expected to blanket the region from midnight tonight through 10 AM Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for multiple areas including Kent and Inland Sussex counties in Delaware, and Talbot County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The advisory also covers parts of southern New Jersey, including Western Monmouth, Atlantic, Cumberland, Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington counties.
Visibility could drop to just one quarter mile or less, creating dangerous driving conditions for the Tuesday morning commute.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service.
Drivers are urged to take extra precautions if they must travel during the advisory period. Officials recommend slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles.
The dense fog is expected to lift by 10 AM Tuesday as temperatures warm and atmospheric conditions change.
Commuters should allow extra time for their Tuesday morning travels and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the night and morning hours.
