A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect across the Delmarva Peninsula and surrounding areas until 10 PM tonight, with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less in some locations.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4:04 PM, warning that hazardous driving conditions are expected to continue through the evening hours. The dense fog is impacting all three Delaware counties – New Castle, Kent, and Sussex – including the Delaware beaches.
In Maryland, the advisory covers the Eastern Shore counties of Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Sussex. Parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania are also experiencing similar conditions.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” according to the weather service alert. Officials are urging drivers to take extra precautions if they must travel during the advisory period.
Motorists should slow down, use headlights, and maintain plenty of distance between vehicles. The fog is expected to gradually lift this evening, with conditions improving after 10 PM.
TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as the advisory expires. Drivers are encouraged to avoid unnecessary travel until visibility improves across the region.
