A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across southern Delaware and portions of New Jersey until noon today, creating potentially dangerous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just a quarter mile or less.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 9:48 AM, affecting key areas including Delaware’s beaches, inland Sussex County, and several New Jersey counties including Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May.
Drivers are experiencing significantly reduced visibility on major roadways, making morning commutes treacherous. The thick fog has settled over both coastal and inland areas, impacting Route 1, Route 13, and other heavily traveled corridors.
If you must drive, the National Weather Service urges extreme caution. Slow down considerably, turn on your headlights – not just daytime running lights – and maintain extra following distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures rise through the late morning hours. The advisory expires at noon, though patchy fog may linger in some low-lying areas.
TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and will provide updates as visibility improves. Stay tuned for the latest traffic and weather information throughout your morning.
