A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 AM this morning across much of the Delmarva Peninsula, creating hazardous travel conditions with visibility dropping to just a quarter mile or less in some areas.
The National Weather Service warns that patchy ice is also forming due to freezing fog, making road conditions particularly treacherous. The advisory covers New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties in Delaware, along with Queen Anne’s County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
Drivers are experiencing significantly reduced visibility on major roadways, including Routes 1, 13, and 50. The combination of dense fog and potential icy patches creates a double threat for morning commuters.
Transportation officials are urging extreme caution for anyone who must travel. Drivers should slow down considerably, use low-beam headlights, and maintain extra following distance. High-beam headlights should be avoided as they can reflect off the fog and actually reduce visibility further.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures warm throughout the morning. The advisory expires at 10 AM, but motorists should continue to exercise caution even after conditions begin to improve.
