A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect across much of the Delmarva Peninsula this morning, with visibility dropping to less than one mile in many areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 1:22 AM, warning drivers of dangerous conditions that could persist until 7:00 AM today. The thick fog is impacting northern Delaware, including New Castle County, as well as portions of southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania.
Locally affected areas include Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Salem, and Camden counties in New Jersey, along with Delaware, Philadelphia, Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks counties in Pennsylvania.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service. Officials are urging drivers to take extra precautions during the morning commute.
If you must travel, meteorologists recommend slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Allow additional time to reach your destination safely.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures warm throughout the morning. Commuters should continue monitoring conditions and drive with extreme caution until visibility improves.
