This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. Information from its description page there is shown below.
Commons is a freely licensed media file repository. You can help.

This media file has been nominated for deletion since 5 October 2024.

To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.

Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.

Reason for the nomination:

This file is sourced to a National Weather Service website.

Such sites host a mixture of content created by the US federal government (public domain) and content created by businesses and private individuals (a wide variety of free and unfree licenses). We rely on the captions they were published with to tell us where the photo originated.

Unfortunately, the citation we have points directly to the image itself and the image itself is no longer published on the NWS site. So although we can verify in the Internet Archive that it was once hosted by the NWS, we no longer have access to its copyright and licensing information.

Because it is unlike the images usually taken by NWS staff in the course of their duties, I reached out the to NWS office that published this photo (Portland).

They do not know who took this photo, and can only "suspect" that it is in the public domain.

I have forwarded this response to the VRT (ticket:2024100510005216).

Because neither we nor the NWS can verify that it is (or was ever) available under a free license, we must delete as a precaution unless the precise creator and evidence of permission can be found. If it is truly an orphan image, it will enter the public domain 120 years after it was taken or published, probably somewhere around the year 2120.

Closing admins should familiarise themselves with the evidence and discussions at this RfC when closing this request.

Licensing

Caution: License review in progress

As of November 2024, the copyright and licensing status of this file is under review.

A Commons contributor has asserted in good faith that this file is in the public domain either because:

it is a work of the National Weather Service, and as a work of the US Federal Government, ineligible for copyright or
a third party might have submitted it to a National Weather Service regional office under terms and conditions that placed it in the public domain. For example, the La Crosse, Louisville, Norman, Omaha, Peachtree City, and Sioux Falls offices are known to have had such terms and conditions for certain contests and other public outreach at various points in time (see here for a complete list) or
it is free of copyright for some other reason (for example, it contains no copyrightable elements, or its copyright has expired)

If, during review, this file is found to be in the public domain or available under a free license, a new rationale will be applied as part of the review process and this notice will no longer be displayed. Files that cannot be established with reasonable certainty to be in the public domain or available under a free license will be deleted.

To uploaders

If uploading a file created by NWS and its employees, use {{PD-USGov-NWS-employee}} instead
If uploading a third-party file hosted on an NWS site or channel, use {{PD-NWS-third party}} instead

Before re-using this file
You must verify that at least one of the above conditions is true.

In particular, if the file was created by a third party, verify that the specific terms and conditions under which its creator submitted it to the NWS included an explicit release of the file into the public domain. Read such terms and conditions carefully; at least one of these (Omaha) contains one option which would place the file into the public domain and another option which would not.

If you cannot verify the terms and conditions that applied to the submission, or these terms and conditions did not contain an explicit release into the public domain, contact the creator of the file and ask their permission to re-use it. If you are unable to verify that this file is in the public domain or available under a free license, please consider nominating this file for deletion.

See below for the original rationale for asserting that this file is in the Public Domain.

Original public domain rationale

This image is in the public domain because it was stored on the web servers of the U.S. National Weather Service. NWS-created images are automatically public domain in the U.S. since the NWS is a part of the U.S. government. However, the NWS sites also host non-NWS images which have been submitted by individuals: these are generally shown as "Courtesy of ...". Such images have explicitly been released to the public domain by the copyright owner as part of the upload process.

As stated at https://www.weather.gov/disclaimer/: "The information on National Weather Service Web servers and Web sites is in the public domain, unless specifically annotated otherwise, and may be used freely by the public."

As stated at https://www.weather.gov/fsd/disclaimer: "By submitting images, you understand that your image is being released into the public domain. This means that your photo or video may be downloaded, copied, and used by others."

Thus, all images on NWS servers are public domain (including "Courtesy of ..." and “Photo by ...” images) unless specifically stated otherwise through a copyright (©) watermark.
