Dense Fog Advisory in Effect Tonight Through Thursday Morning for Delaware Coast

Dense fog will reduce visibility to less than one mile across coastal Delaware and southern New Jersey from tonight through Thursday morning, creating hazardous driving conditions.

A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for coastal Delaware and southern New Jersey, with visibility expected to drop to less than one mile starting at 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning. The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 1:08 PM today, warning drivers to prepare for hazardous travel conditions across the Delaware beaches, inland Sussex County, and several New Jersey counties including Atlantic, Cape May, and Ocean counties. Motorists should expect significantly reduced visibility that could make driving dangerous during the evening commute tonight and Thursday morning’s rush hour. The fog is expected to be most dense overnight and into the early morning hours. If you must drive during this time, weather officials strongly recommend slowing down, using your headlights, and leaving extra distance between your vehicle and others on the road. Avoid using high-beam headlights, as they can reflect off the fog and actually reduce visibility further. The advisory remains in effect until 10 AM Thursday morning, when conditions are expected to gradually improve. Commuters should plan for extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips if possible.
