Dense Fog Advisory in Effect Overnight Across Delmarva Region

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect from midnight tonight until 10 AM Tuesday for Kent and Inland Sussex counties in Delaware, with visibility dropping to a quarter mile or less.

Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for potentially dangerous conditions overnight as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for several counties in our viewing area. The advisory takes effect at midnight tonight and remains in place until 10:00 AM Tuesday morning. Visibility could drop to one quarter mile or less, creating hazardous driving conditions during the early morning commute. Locally, Kent and Inland Sussex counties in Delaware are under the advisory, along with Talbot County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The warning also extends to parts of New Jersey, including Western Monmouth, Atlantic, Cumberland, Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington counties. Motorists are strongly urged to take extra precautions if they must travel during these conditions. The National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining plenty of distance between vehicles. The dense fog is expected to gradually lift Tuesday morning as temperatures rise and atmospheric conditions improve. Commuters should allow extra time for their morning drive and consider delaying non-essential travel until visibility improves. We’ll continue monitoring conditions overnight and provide updates on any changes to the forecast during our morning newscasts.
