A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect across much of the Delmarva region this morning, with visibility dropping to just a quarter mile or less in some areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 6:20 AM, warning drivers of hazardous conditions that are expected to persist until 9 AM. The thick fog is impacting portions of northern Delaware, including New Castle County, as well as parts of southeastern Pennsylvania and central New Jersey.
Specific areas under the advisory include Delaware, Philadelphia, Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks counties in Pennsylvania, plus Salem, Gloucester, Camden, and parts of Burlington County in New Jersey.
The dramatically reduced visibility is creating dangerous driving conditions during the morning commute. Weather officials are urging motorists to take extra precautions if they must travel.
“If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you,” the National Weather Service advises.
Drivers should also consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve. The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures warm throughout the morning, with normal visibility returning by mid-morning.
