A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across southern Delaware and parts of southern New Jersey until 10 AM this morning, creating hazardous driving conditions with visibility reduced to just one quarter mile or less.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4 AM, warning drivers to expect extremely limited visibility that could make travel dangerous during the morning commute. Areas under the advisory include inland Sussex County, Delaware’s beaches, and several counties in central and southern New Jersey including Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
“This is thick fog that’s really going to impact your morning drive,” said meteorologists at the Mount Holly office. “You need to take extra precautions if you’re heading out early.”
Drivers are urged to slow down significantly, use headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. If visibility becomes too poor, pull over safely and wait for conditions to improve.
The fog is expected to gradually lift through the morning hours, with the advisory set to expire at 10 AM. However, patchy fog may linger in some low-lying areas even after the official advisory ends.
