A Dense Fog Advisory is currently in effect across the Delmarva Peninsula and surrounding areas, with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less in some locations. The National Weather Service issued the advisory early this morning at 4:14 AM and expects conditions to persist until 7:00 AM.
The thick fog is impacting major roadways throughout northern Delaware, including New Castle County, as well as portions of central and southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania. Areas under the advisory include Philadelphia, Camden, Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean, Cumberland, Salem, and Gloucester counties, among others.
Motorists are experiencing extremely hazardous driving conditions due to severely reduced visibility. The National Weather Service is urging drivers to exercise extreme caution if they must travel during these conditions.
Safety officials recommend slowing down significantly, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. If possible, delay non-essential travel until the fog lifts.
The dense fog is expected to gradually dissipate as temperatures warm with the morning sun. Current conditions should improve by 7:00 AM as the advisory expires. Drivers should continue monitoring local conditions and adjust their travel plans accordingly.
