...Patchy Freezing Fog This Morning...

Patchy fog has developed this morning across the Delmarva
Peninsula and extreme southern New Jersey. Temperatures this
morning have also fallen below freezing, which could result in
freezing fog. Additionally, any rain or snowmelt from Thursday
could result in the formation of black ice.

If driving this morning, be prepared for rapidly changing
conditions. Patchy fog can unexpectedly reduce visibilities. Slow
down, use your low- beam headlights, and leave plenty of room
between you and other vehicles.

DELMARVA - Patchy fog may linger across Sussex County early Friday, potentially lowering visibility for the morning commute, before conditions turn drier and remain relatively calm into Saturday morning, forecasters said.

The fog risk is highest around daybreak Friday, especially in areas that picked up rainfall Thursday evening. Widespread dense fog is not expected, but pockets of thicker fog could develop, particularly in low-lying spots and near rivers, bays and marshy areas.

After the fog lifts Friday morning, Sussex County is expected to stay dry through the day, with no additional precipitation anticipated. The quiet pattern continues Friday night into Saturday morning, with generally dry conditions expected.

A more significant change arrives later in the weekend, when an arctic front is forecast to sweep through late Saturday night into Sunday, bringing a turn toward much colder air.
