Dense Fog Advisory: Visibility Drops to Less Than One Mile Across Delmarva Coast

Dense fog will reduce visibility to less than one mile across Delaware beaches and inland Sussex County from this evening through Thursday morning, creating hazardous driving conditions.

Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for hazardous travel conditions as dense fog blankets the region, reducing visibility to less than one mile in some areas. The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 6 PM this evening through 10 AM Thursday morning. The advisory covers Delaware’s beaches and inland Sussex County, extending into southern New Jersey’s coastal communities. “Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service. Meteorologists expect the thickest fog to develop overnight and persist through the Thursday morning commute. The affected areas include Delaware’s popular beach destinations from Lewes to Fenwick Island, as well as inland communities throughout Sussex County. In New Jersey, the advisory covers Atlantic, Cape May, and Ocean counties, including both coastal and inland areas. If you must travel during the advisory period, safety officials recommend slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve. The fog advisory is set to expire at 10 AM Thursday, with clearer conditions expected as temperatures rise throughout the morning.
