DELAWARE (11/5/2015) Dense fog is expected to affect driving across the state this morning, the National Weather Service says, and some schools will be opening later than normal as a result.

Visibility will be a quarter mile or less at times, making for hazardous driving conditions.

Drivers are urged to slow down and use headlights.

The fog is expected to lift by mid-morning.

Indian River and Polytech school districts, as well as Sussex Academy, will be opening 2 hours late.

Sussex Tech will be opening one hour late.
