Dense Fog Advisory Issued for Delmarva Beaches and Coastal Areas

Wednesday, March 4, 2026 at 3:03 PM

Dense fog will reduce visibility to less than one mile across Delaware beaches and coastal areas from 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday, creating hazardous driving conditions.

A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for coastal Delaware and surrounding areas, with visibility dropping 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 that thick fog will create hazardous driving conditions across the Delaware beaches, inland Sussex County, and multiple New Jersey coastal counties including Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean, and Monmouth. Motorists should expect significantly reduced visibility that could make travel dangerous, particularly along coastal highways and beach routes popular with commuters and tourists. If you must drive during the advisory period, weather officials strongly recommend slowing down, using your headlights even during daylight hours, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. The combination of dense fog and normal traffic patterns could create particularly risky conditions during Thursday morning’s rush hour. The fog is expected to gradually lift by mid-morning Thursday as temperatures rise and atmospheric conditions change. Residents in affected areas should allow extra time for travel and consider postponing non-essential trips until visibility improves. The advisory remains in effect until 10 AM Thursday morning.
