Dense Fog Advisory: Near-Zero Visibility Expected Overnight Across Delmarva

Dense fog will reduce visibility to one quarter mile or less across the Delmarva Peninsula from midnight tonight through 10 AM Tuesday, creating hazardous driving conditions.

A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for much of the Delmarva Peninsula, with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less beginning at midnight tonight. The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 7:33 PM, warning that hazardous driving conditions will persist through 10:00 AM Tuesday morning. The thick fog will blanket Kent and Inland Sussex Counties in Delaware, Talbot County in Maryland, and portions of southern New Jersey including Western Monmouth, Atlantic, Cumberland, Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington Counties. Commuters should expect significant travel delays during the Tuesday morning rush hour as the dense fog creates dangerous conditions on area roadways. Visibility could be severely restricted, making it difficult to see other vehicles, traffic signals, and road signs. If you must drive during the advisory period, the National Weather Service strongly recommends slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Allow additional travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips until conditions improve. The fog is expected to gradually lift and dissipate by late Tuesday morning. Motorists should monitor local conditions and stay tuned to TV Delmarva for updates throughout the night and morning hours.
