Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for dangerous travel conditions as dense fog is expected to blanket the region overnight into Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from midnight tonight through 10 AM Tuesday, warning that visibility could drop to just one quarter of a mile or less in some areas.
Locally, the advisory affects Kent and Inland Sussex Counties in Delaware, along with Talbot County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The fog will also impact parts of New Jersey, including Western Monmouth, Atlantic, Cumberland, Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington Counties.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service. Officials are urging drivers to take extra precautions during the morning commute.
If you must travel during the advisory period, meteorologists recommend slowing down, using your headlights, and leaving plenty of distance between you and other vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The dense fog is expected to gradually lift Tuesday morning, with the advisory set to expire at 10 AM. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the night and morning hours.
