A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across much of the Delmarva Peninsula this morning, with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less in some areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 9:48 AM and expects the dangerous conditions to persist until noon today. The thick fog is impacting inland Sussex County and Delaware’s beaches, creating particularly hazardous driving conditions during the late morning commute.
Southern Delaware and portions of central and southern New Jersey are experiencing the worst visibility, with drivers reporting near-whiteout conditions on some roadways. The fog has developed rapidly, catching many motorists off guard.
Authorities are urging extreme caution for anyone who must travel. If you’re driving, reduce your speed significantly, turn on your headlights, and maintain extra distance between your vehicle and others on the road. Consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as we approach midday, with clearer conditions anticipated by this afternoon. However, isolated patches of dense fog may linger in low-lying areas even after the advisory expires.
