Dense Fog Advisory: Visibility Drops Below One Mile Across Delmarva Region

Dense fog is creating dangerous driving conditions across northern Delaware and surrounding areas this morning, with visibility dropping below one mile until 7 AM.

Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula are waking up to dangerous travel conditions this morning as dense fog blankets the region, reducing visibility to less than one mile. The National Weather Service issued a Dense Fog Advisory at 1:22 AM for northern Delaware and surrounding areas, warning that hazardous driving conditions will persist until 7:00 AM today. The advisory affects New Castle County in Delaware, along with portions of southern New Jersey including Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Cumberland, Atlantic, Cape May, and Ocean counties. Motorists are strongly urged to exercise extreme caution during the morning commute. If you must drive, officials recommend slowing down significantly, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. The thick fog makes it difficult to judge distances and see other cars, pedestrians, or road hazards. The fog advisory is expected to lift by 7:00 AM as temperatures warm and atmospheric conditions improve. However, drivers should remain vigilant as visibility can change rapidly in patchy areas.

We’ll continue monitoring conditions and bring you any changes to the advisory as they develop.
