Dense Fog Advisory: Visibility Drops to Quarter Mile Across Delmarva Tonight

Dense fog will reduce visibility to a quarter mile or less across parts of Delaware and Maryland's Eastern Shore from midnight through 10 AM Tuesday.

Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for hazardous travel conditions as dense fog is expected to blanket the region overnight into Tuesday morning. The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from midnight tonight through 10:00 AM Tuesday, warning that visibility could drop to just one quarter mile or less in some areas. Locally, the advisory affects Kent County and Inland Sussex County in Delaware, along with Talbot County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The fog will also impact parts of New Jersey, including Western Monmouth, Atlantic, Cumberland, Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington Counties. “Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service. Officials are urging motorists to take extra precautions if travel is necessary during the advisory period. If you must drive in these conditions, safety experts recommend slowing down significantly, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until visibility improves. The dense fog is expected to gradually lift Tuesday morning, with conditions improving by 10:00 AM.
