A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect this morning across northern Delaware and surrounding areas, creating dangerous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just a quarter mile or less.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 6:20 AM and expects the thick fog to persist until 9:00 AM today. In Delaware, New Castle County is experiencing the most significant impacts, while the advisory also covers portions of southeastern Pennsylvania and central New Jersey, including Philadelphia and surrounding counties.
Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution during the morning commute. The drastically reduced visibility is making roadways particularly hazardous, especially on major routes like I-95, Route 1, and local surface streets throughout the region.
Safety officials recommend drivers slow down significantly, use headlights even during daylight hours, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. If visibility becomes too poor, consider pulling over safely and waiting for conditions to improve.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as morning temperatures rise and winds increase. Commuters should allow extra travel time and stay alert for changing conditions. Check TVDelmarva.com and our mobile app for the latest traffic updates and weather conditions throughout your morning drive.
