  "bodyMd": "**NWS Sioux Falls SD issued a Special Weather Statement** at 4:43 a.m. MST (5:43 a.m. CST) Nov. 7, 2026, according to the National Weather Service's public alert record.\n\nThe alert states that it takes effect at 4:43 a.m. MST (5:43 a.m. CST), gives the onset as 4:43 a.m. MST (5:43 a.m. CST) and expires at 9 a.m. MST (10 a.m. CST). It may reach both of South Dakota's time zones, so each time is given in both.\n\nWhether this alert is currently in effect is not stated in this text, deliberately: it depends on the time you are reading, so it is computed from the expiry above each time the page is loaded, rather than stored as an answer that would go out of date without anyone noticing.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 \"Observed\" and urgency \"Expected\". Those are the National Weather Service's own categories, reproduced exactly, not re-ranked or translated into another scale.\n\nThe recommended response type on the message is \"Execute\".\n\nThe alert names these areas: Lincoln; Pipestone; Beadle; Kingsbury; Brookings; Gregory; Jerauld; Sanborn; Miner; Lake; Moody; Brule; Aurora; Davison; Hanson; McCook; Charles Mix; Douglas; Hutchinson. The National Weather Service zone codes are MNZ071, MNZ097, SDZ038, SDZ039, SDZ040, SDZ050, SDZ052, SDZ053, SDZ054, SDZ055, SDZ056, SDZ057, SDZ058, SDZ059, SDZ060, SDZ061, SDZ063, SDZ064 and SDZ065.\n\nThe issuing office's own summary line, as written at 4:43 a.m. MST (5:43 a.m. CST):\n\n> AREAS OF FOG ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA AND SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA THIS MORNING\n\nThe full text of the alert as issued at 4:43 a.m. MST (5:43 a.m. CST), reproduced without changes:\n\n> Areas of fog occasionally reducing visibility to 1 mile or less have\n> developed across portions of southeast South Dakota and southwest\n> Minnesota. Travelers should be prepared for rapidly deteriorating\n> or changing visibility, and use extra caution at intersections,\n> railroad crossings, and school bus stops. The fog is expected to\n> improve by 10 AM.\n\nThe message carries no separate protective-action text.\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. The alert is reproduced without added meteorological judgement. For live conditions and alerts, go to the [National Weather Service](https://www.weather.gov/).\n\nOnly alerts the National Weather Service gave a window of two hours or longer appear here, checked 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 here says nothing about whether one was issued. For those, and for live conditions, go to the [National Weather Service](https://www.weather.gov/).",
