Dense Fog Advisory: Dangerous Driving Conditions Expected Across Delaware Beaches and Inland Areas

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect from 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday, bringing visibility under one mile across Delaware beaches and inland areas.

Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for hazardous travel conditions as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning. Visibility will drop to less than one mile in dense fog, creating dangerous driving conditions across multiple areas including Delaware’s beaches, inland Sussex County, and portions of southern New Jersey. The advisory covers Delaware’s coastal regions and inland Sussex County, along with several New Jersey counties including Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May, and parts of Monmouth and Burlington counties. Officials warn that the low visibility could make driving extremely hazardous during both the evening and morning commutes. The fog is expected to be most problematic overnight and during early morning hours Thursday. If you must drive during the advisory period, the National Weather Service strongly recommends slowing down, using your headlights, and leaving extra distance between your vehicle and others on the road. The Dense Fog Advisory will remain in effect until 10 AM Thursday morning. Drivers should check current conditions before traveling and consider delaying non-essential trips during peak fog hours. TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as weather conditions change.
