Due to some errors found on the National Weather Service web site, editors on the Wikimedia Commons decided the NWS general disclaimer may not be enough to prove a photograph is in the public domain. Editors on the Wikimedia Commons decided in a discussion that there was not enough evidence provided by the National Weather Service to confirm if this photograph is in the public domain or if it is copyrighted.

If it was taken as part of Doug Crowley's official duty, the photograph is automatically in the public domain and is free to use.
