Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for hazardous conditions tonight as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 6 PM this evening through 10 AM Thursday morning.
Visibility is expected to drop to less than one mile in dense fog, creating dangerous driving conditions across coastal Delaware and southern New Jersey. The advisory affects inland Sussex County, Delaware beaches, and multiple counties in southern New Jersey including Atlantic, Ocean, Cape May, and parts of Burlington and Monmouth counties.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service out of Mount Holly, New Jersey.
Motorists are strongly advised to take extra precautions during the advisory period. The Weather Service recommends slowing down, using headlights even during daytime hours, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles.
The fog is expected to be most dense overnight and during early morning hours Thursday. Conditions should begin improving by mid-morning as temperatures rise.
Commuters planning early morning travel Thursday should allow extra time for their journey and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves. The advisory expires at 10 AM Thursday morning.
