A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect across southern Delaware and parts of southern New Jersey until 10 AM this morning, creating hazardous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just a quarter mile or less.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4 AM, warning residents in Sussex County and Delaware’s beaches to exercise extreme caution on the roads. The thick fog is also impacting portions of central and southern New Jersey, including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, Burlington, and Cape May counties.
Motorists are experiencing significantly reduced visibility on major roadways throughout the region, making morning commutes particularly dangerous. The fog is expected to persist through the morning hours before gradually lifting.
If you must drive this morning, the National Weather Service strongly recommends slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Even familiar routes can become treacherous in these conditions.
The advisory is scheduled to expire at 10 AM as improving weather conditions should help dissipate the fog. However, drivers should continue monitoring visibility and adjust their driving accordingly.
Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the morning, and remember – when visibility is poor, it’s always better to arrive late than not at all.
