Can the NOAA/National Weather Service in Des Moines provide certified records regarding weather phenomena that occurred on a particular day?

0

The NOAA/National Weather Service in Des Moines does not provide certified records for court cases or any other reason. We have a limited amount of archived data available to office staff members, and would be glad to share that with you over the phone (270-2614), but we cannot certify any observations or records. We provide unofficial information on our webpage for 8 sites in our forecast area (Waterloo, Mason City, Estherville, Ames, Marshalltown, Des Moines, Ottumwa and Lamoni), but certified information has to come from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) in Ashville, NC. They are the national repository of all weather related records, and can be reached at http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov, or National Climatic Data Center, Federal Building, 151 Patton Avenue, Asheville NC 28801-5001 (828) 271-4800. Local unofficial data can be found on the Des Moines NOAA/National Weather Service website (click here).
