NWS Text Products by Date and Issuance Center or PIL

This application prints out a listing of IEM archived text products. After about seven days, the IEM purges a lot of the frequently issued products like SHEF and METAR data. Please be patient with this page if you select a range of dates.

See this news item for more details on this archive and sources used. You can also find a listing of three character PILs and a brief associated product name on the NWS website.

Archive Completeness:

• 1983 thru 2001: Sometimes sparse / missing data. Also note that product source IDs are likely different back then (prior to NWS Modernization), some work was done to assign present day WMO source IDs to the product metadata stored in the database. The original text was not modified. To find text from a now closed WSO from the period, try using the present day WFO center that covers the location.
• 2002 thru 2007: More consistent archives, but still likely missing things. Much better coverage though.
• 2008 thru now: Very good data coverage and higher fidelity archiving.
