A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across the Delmarva Peninsula this evening, with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less in some areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4:04 PM, warning residents that hazardous driving conditions are expected to continue until 10 PM tonight. The thick fog is impacting portions of Delaware, the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Locally, the advisory covers all of Delaware including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties, as well as Delaware’s beaches. On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Sussex counties are all affected by the dense fog conditions.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” meteorologists warn. Drivers are urged to take extra precautions if they must travel this evening.
Safety officials recommend slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining plenty of distance between vehicles. Even familiar routes can become dangerous when visibility is severely reduced.
The fog advisory is expected to expire at 10 PM EST tonight. Residents should monitor local weather conditions and consider delaying non-essential travel until visibility improves. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the evening.
