A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across southern Delaware and portions of South Jersey this morning, creating dangerous driving conditions with visibility reduced to just a quarter mile or less.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4:00 AM and expects the thick fog to persist until 10:00 AM today. Areas under the advisory include inland Sussex County, Delaware’s beaches, and multiple counties throughout central and southern New Jersey including Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
Motorists are experiencing significantly reduced visibility on major roadways, making the morning commute particularly treacherous. The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures rise throughout the morning hours.
If you must drive this morning, the National Weather Service strongly recommends slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Avoid using high beams, which can actually reduce visibility in fog by reflecting light back toward your vehicle.
The advisory is set to expire at 10:00 AM, though patchy fog may linger in some low-lying areas. Drivers should continue exercising caution even after the official advisory ends, as visibility conditions can change rapidly.
