NWS Aberdeen SD issued a Dense Fog Advisory at 11:54 p.m. Mountain time Nov. 5, 2026 (12:54 a.m. Central Nov. 6), according to the National Weather Service's public alert record.
The alert states that it takes effect at 11:54 p.m. Mountain Nov. 5 (12:54 a.m. Central Nov. 6), gives the onset as 11:54 p.m. Mountain Nov. 5 (12:54 a.m. Central Nov. 6) and expires at 9 a.m. Mountain (10 a.m. Central) Nov. 6. 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 9 a.m. Mountain (10 a.m. Central), 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so it is computed from the expiry above each time the page is loaded, rather than stored as an answer that would go out of date without anyone noticing.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".

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.
