Dense Fog Creates Dangerous Driving Conditions Across Delmarva This Morning

Dense fog is creating dangerous driving conditions across Delmarva with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile until 10 AM this morning.

A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 AM this morning, creating hazardous travel conditions across much of the Delmarva Peninsula and southern New Jersey. Visibility has dropped to just one quarter mile or less in many areas, making morning commutes particularly dangerous. The National Weather Service advisory affects Delaware beaches, inland Sussex County, and several New Jersey counties including Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May, and parts of Monmouth and Burlington counties. Drivers are experiencing significantly reduced visibility on major roadways throughout the region. The thick fog developed overnight and is expected to persist through the morning rush hour before gradually lifting. If you must travel this morning, the National Weather Service strongly recommends slowing down, using your headlights even during daylight hours, and leaving extra distance between your vehicle and others on the road. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve. The fog advisory will expire at 10 AM, with visibility expected to improve as temperatures rise and winds increase later this morning. Motorists should remain cautious even as conditions begin to clear, as patchy fog may linger in some low-lying areas. We’ll continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as the situation changes throughout the morning.
