A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect across 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 2:32 AM and expects conditions to persist until 10 AM today.
The thick fog is impacting all three Delaware counties – New Castle, Kent, and Sussex – including the Delaware beaches. On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Sussex counties are all experiencing hazardous visibility conditions.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service. Morning commuters should expect significant delays and exercise extreme caution on roadways throughout the region.
If you must drive this morning, meteorologists strongly advise slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining plenty of distance between vehicles. The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures rise and winds increase later this morning.
