Dense Fog Advisory in Effect Overnight, Creating Dangerous Driving Conditions

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect from midnight tonight until 10 AM Tuesday for parts of Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey, with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile.

Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for hazardous travel conditions tonight as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from midnight until 10 AM Tuesday morning. The advisory warns visibility could drop to just one quarter mile or less in dense fog, creating potentially dangerous driving conditions across multiple counties. In Delaware, Kent and Inland Sussex Counties are under the advisory. Maryland’s Talbot County is also affected, along with several New Jersey counties including Western Monmouth, Atlantic, Cumberland, Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington. The fog is expected to develop after midnight and persist through the Tuesday morning commute, potentially impacting travel for thousands of residents heading to work and school. If you must drive during the advisory period, weather officials strongly recommend slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel if possible, especially during the early morning hours when fog is typically most dense. The Dense Fog Advisory is set to expire at 10 AM Tuesday morning, though drivers should continue monitoring conditions as fog can linger in some areas even after the official advisory ends.
