A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across much of the Delmarva Peninsula this morning, with visibility dropping to just a quarter mile or less in some areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4:00 AM, affecting inland Sussex County and Delaware’s beaches, along with portions of central and southern New Jersey including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
Drivers are experiencing hazardous conditions on roadways throughout the region as the thick fog significantly reduces visibility. Weather officials are urging extreme caution for anyone who must travel during the morning commute.
If you must drive, the National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using your headlights, and leaving plenty of distance between your vehicle and others on the road. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as the morning progresses, with the advisory set to expire at 10:00 AM. Temperatures are expected to warm throughout the day, which should help dissipate the dense conditions.
