The IEM has a database archive of CWSU Center Weather Advisories. The archive presently dates back to 1 January 2014 and is updated in real-time as new products are received and processed. Robust processing of the CWA has been problematic as the raw products are more free-form text than adhering to a format specification. Presently, attempts are not made at processing cancellation statements.
