A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across the entire Delmarva Peninsula this evening, with visibility dropping to just a quarter mile or less in some areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4:04 PM and it remains in effect until 10:00 PM tonight. The thick fog is impacting all of Delaware, including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties, as well as the Delaware beaches. On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Sussex counties are all experiencing hazardous driving conditions.
The dense fog extends well beyond our immediate viewing area, affecting portions of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and northern Delaware as driving becomes treacherous on major roadways including Routes 1, 13, and 50.
Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution if travel is necessary. The National Weather Service recommends slowing down significantly, using headlights, and leaving extra distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
Visibility is expected to gradually improve as we head into the late evening hours. Stay tuned to TV Delmarva for continued weather updates and check our website for the latest road conditions before heading out tonight.
