Dense Fog Blankets Delmarva, Creates Hazardous Travel Conditions

Saturday, March 14, 2026 at 5:50 AM

Dense fog has reduced visibility to a quarter mile or less across the Delmarva Peninsula, prompting a National Weather Service advisory until 10 AM Sunday.

Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula are urged to use extreme caution this morning as dense fog has reduced visibility to just a quarter mile or less in many areas. The National Weather Service issued a Dense Fog Advisory at 1:10 AM Sunday for much of our viewing area, including all of Delaware from Kent County down to the beaches, southern New Jersey counties including Ocean, Atlantic, Cumberland, Camden, Cape May, and parts of Burlington County, plus Caroline County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The thick fog is creating potentially dangerous driving conditions throughout the region, with visibility severely limited on highways and local roads alike. Weather officials say the fog is expected to persist through 10:00 AM this morning. If you must travel, the National Weather Service recommends slowing down significantly, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Drivers should also avoid using high beams, which can actually make visibility worse in fog by reflecting light back toward your vehicle. The advisory affects major travel corridors including Routes 1, 13, and 50, as well as coastal areas where fog tends to be particularly dense. Conditions should gradually improve as we head toward mid-morning as temperatures rise and winds increase.
