  "bodyMd": "**NWS Sioux Falls SD issued a Heat Advisory** on Sept. 4, 2026, 1:08 p.m. MDT / 2:08 p.m. CDT, according to the National Weather Service's public alert record.\n\nThe alert states an effective time of Sept. 4, 2026, 1:08 p.m. MDT / 2:08 p.m. CDT, an onset of Sept. 4, 2026, 1:08 p.m. MDT / 2:08 p.m. CDT, and an expiry of Sept. 4, 2026, 5 p.m. MDT / 6 p.m. CDT. South Dakota spans two time zones and this alert may reach both, so each instant is shown in Mountain and then Central time; the office's own published offset is preserved in the machine-readable record.\n\nThe alert separately states that the hazard itself ends at Sept. 4, 2026, 5 p.m. MDT / 6 p.m. CDT. That is a different field from the message's expiry above and the two can differ.\n\nWhether this alert is currently in effect is not stated in this text, deliberately: it depends on the time you are reading, so 605Buzz computes it from the expiry above each time the page is loaded rather than storing an answer that would go out of date without anyone noticing. The status shown at the top of this page is the computed one.\n\nThe issuing office classified this message as severity \"Moderate\", certainty \"Likely\" and urgency \"Expected\". Those are the National Weather Service's own categories, reproduced exactly; 605Buzz does not re-rank them or translate them into a scale of its own.\n\nThe recommended response type on the message is \"Execute\".\n\nThe alert names these areas: Sioux; O'Brien; Plymouth; Cherokee; Buena Vista; Woodbury; Ida; Dixon; Dakota; Charles Mix; Douglas; Hutchinson; Turner; Lincoln; Bon Homme; Yankton; Clay; Union. The National Weather Service zone codes are IAZ012, IAZ013, IAZ020, IAZ021, IAZ022, IAZ031, IAZ032, NEZ013, NEZ014, SDZ063, SDZ064, SDZ065, SDZ066, SDZ067, SDZ068, SDZ069, SDZ070 and SDZ071.\n\nThe issuing office's own summary line, as written on Sept. 4, 2026, 1:08 p.m. MDT / 2:08 p.m. CDT:\n\n> HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CDT THIS EVENING\n\nThe full text of the alert as issued on Sept. 4, 2026, 1:08 p.m. MDT / 2:08 p.m. CDT, reproduced without changes:\n\n> \\* WHAT...Heat index values up to 105.\n>\n> \\* WHERE...Portions of northwest and west central Iowa, northeast\n> Nebraska, and south central and southeast South Dakota.\n>\n> \\* WHEN...Until 6 PM CDT this evening.\n>\n> \\* IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat\n> illnesses.\n\nThe protective-action text the issuing office attached, reproduced without changes:\n\n> Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car\n> interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.\n>\n> Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of\n> the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.\n>\n> To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and\n> Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in\n> shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat\n> should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an\n> emergency\\! Call 9 1 1.\n\nThe National Weather Service superseded this message at Sept. 4, 2026, 4:46 p.m. MDT / 5:46 p.m. CDT with a later one. This article records the message as issued.\n\nThis alert is a work of the United States federal government — the National Weather Service, part of NOAA — and is in the **public domain**; no copyright is claimed on it and none is asserted here. 605Buzz reproduces the record and does not add meteorological judgement. For live conditions and alerts, go to the [National Weather Service](https://www.weather.gov/).\n\n605Buzz publishes alerts the National Weather Service gave a window of two hours or longer, and checks once a day. Short-notice warnings — including tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings, which the service typically issues for under an hour — are NOT carried here, so their absence from this site says nothing about whether one was issued.
