Dense Fog Advisory in Effect Across Southern Delaware, Visibility Drops to Quarter Mile

Dense fog is reducing visibility to a quarter mile across southern Delaware and parts of New Jersey, creating hazardous driving conditions until 10 AM.

Motorists across southern Delaware and parts of New Jersey are facing dangerous driving conditions this morning as dense fog blankets the region, reducing visibility to just a quarter mile or less. The National Weather Service issued a Dense Fog Advisory at 4:00 AM, warning residents in Sussex County, Delaware’s beaches, and several New Jersey counties including Atlantic, Ocean, Cape May, and parts of Burlington and Monmouth counties. The thick fog is creating hazardous conditions for the morning commute, particularly along coastal areas and inland routes throughout the Delmarva Peninsula. Weather officials are urging drivers to exercise extreme caution by slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. The advisory remains in effect until 10:00 AM this morning, when conditions are expected to gradually improve as temperatures rise. Commuters should allow extra time for travel and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves. Marine interests should also be aware that the fog is affecting coastal waters, making navigation dangerous for small craft.
