A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect across southern Delaware and parts of southern New Jersey until 10 AM this morning, creating hazardous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less. The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4 AM, warning residents in inland Sussex County and Delaware’s beaches to exercise extreme caution on roadways. The advisory also extends into New Jersey, affecting portions of Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May, and southeastern Burlington counties. Drivers are experiencing significantly reduced visibility this morning, making travel dangerous across the region. The thick fog is particularly impacting coastal areas and inland communities throughout the Delmarva Peninsula.
