Dense Fog Advisory in Effect Through Tuesday Morning, Visibility Drops to Quarter Mile

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect from midnight tonight through 10 AM Tuesday, reducing visibility to a quarter mile across much of Delmarva.

Delmarva residents should prepare for dangerous driving conditions as dense fog blankets the region overnight into Tuesday morning. The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from midnight tonight through 10 AM Tuesday, warning of visibility reduced to just one quarter mile or less. The advisory covers Kent and Inland Sussex counties in Delaware, along with Talbot County in Maryland. New Jersey areas including Western Monmouth, Atlantic, Cumberland, Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington counties are also under the advisory. Motorists face the greatest risk during the Tuesday morning commute, as the thick fog will create hazardous driving conditions on area roadways. Weather officials stress that visibility could drop dramatically with little warning. If you must drive during the advisory period, the National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve. The fog is expected to gradually lift Tuesday morning, with the advisory set to expire at 10 AM.
