NWS Rapid City SD issued a Dense Fog Advisory at 10:42 a.m. MST (11:42 a.m. CST) Nov. 6, 2026, according to the National Weather Service's public alert record.
The alert states that it takes effect at 10:42 a.m. MST (11:42 a.m. CST), gives the onset as 10:42 a.m. MST (11:42 a.m. CST) and expires at 11:45 a.m. MST (12:45 p.m. CST). It may reach both of South Dakota's time zones, so each time is given in both.
The alert separately states that the hazard itself ends at 11 a.m. MST (noon CST), which can differ from when the message expires.
Whether 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so it is computed from the expiry above each time the page is loaded, rather than stored as an answer that would go out of date without anyone noticing.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.
The issuing office classified this message as severity "Moderate", certainty "Likely" and urgency "Expected". Those are the National Weather Service's own categories, reproduced exactly, not re-ranked or translated into another scale.
The recommended response type on the message is "Execute".
The alert names these areas: Ziebach. The National Weather Service zone codes are SDZ014.
The issuing office's own summary line, as written at 10:42 a.m. MST (11:42 a.m. CST):
DENSE FOG ADVISORY WILL EXPIRE AT 11 AM MST THIS MORNING
The full text of the alert as issued at 10:42 a.m. MST (11:42 a.m. CST), reproduced without changes:
Areas of fog will quickly diminish late this morning.
The message carries no separate protective-action text.
This 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.
Only 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.
