Dense Fog Advisory: Visibility Drops to Less Than One Mile Across Delaware Beaches and Coastal Areas

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

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for much of the Delmarva Peninsula tonight through Thursday morning, with visibility expected to drop to less than one mile in some areas. The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 1:08 PM today, warning residents that hazardous driving conditions will develop starting at 6 PM this evening and continue until 10 AM Thursday. Areas most affected include Delaware’s beaches, inland Sussex County, and several New Jersey coastal counties including Atlantic, Cape May, and Ocean counties. The dense fog is expected to significantly reduce visibility across these coastal regions. “Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” according to the National Weather Service alert. Officials are urging drivers to take extra precautions during their evening commute and Thursday morning drive. If you must travel during the advisory period, meteorologists recommend slowing down, using your headlights, and leaving plenty of distance between your vehicle and the car ahead of you. Consider delaying non-essential travel if possible. The advisory is set to expire at 10 AM Thursday morning as conditions are expected to improve throughout the morning hours.
