...AREAS OF DENSE FOG AND PERHAPS A THUNDERSTORM...

AREAS OF FOG WERE MOVING UP FROM THE SOUTHERN DELMARVA AND ARE
EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO PORTIONS OF DELAWARE...THE MARYLAND EASTERN
SHORE AND FAR SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY THIS EVENING. THE FOG WILL
REDUCE THE VISIBILITY TO OR BELOW ONE-QUARTER MILE IN SOME
LOCATIONS BEFORE WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND FOG BEGINS TO LIFT
AROUND MIDNIGHT. IF YOU ARE DRIVING THIS EVENING AND ENCOUNTER
DENSE FOG...PLEASE SLOW DOWN...KEEP YOUR LIGHTS ON THE LOW BEAM
SETTING AND TRY TO LEAVE AS MUCH ROOM AS POSSIBLE BETWEEN YOURSELF
AND OTHERS.

MEANWHILE...AN AREA OF ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS ALSO WAS MOVING
NORTH FROM THE SOUTHERN DELMARVA. THE STORMS WERE HEADING TOWARD
SOUTHERN DELAWARE AND FAR SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY...AND THEY ALSO
SHOULD CLEAR THE AREA BY AROUND MIDNIGHT. SINCE THE THUNDERSTORMS
WERE ELEVATED...THEY WERE NOT EXPECTED TO GENERATE DANGEROUS WIND
GUSTS. HOWEVER...THEY ARE CAPABLE OF GENERATING DEADLY CLOUD TO
GROUND LIGHTNING.
