Drivers across southern Delaware and parts of South Jersey are being urged to use extreme caution this morning as dense fog has reduced visibility to just a quarter mile or less in many areas.
The National Weather Service issued a Dense Fog Advisory at 9:48 AM, affecting inland Sussex County, Delaware beaches, and multiple counties in central and southern New Jersey including Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May, and parts of Burlington and Monmouth counties.
The thick fog is creating hazardous driving conditions throughout the region, with visibility severely limited on major roadways and local streets. Motorists are experiencing dangerous conditions on routes leading to and from the Delaware beaches and inland areas.
Authorities are advising drivers to slow down significantly, turn on their headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. If visibility becomes too poor, pull off the road safely and wait for conditions to improve.
The Dense Fog Advisory is expected to remain in effect until noon today, when improving weather conditions should help lift the fog. However, drivers should continue to exercise caution even as visibility gradually improves.
For the latest traffic and weather conditions, stay tuned to TV Delmarva throughout the morning.
