Does the NWS Archive Old Area Forecast Discussions

[mikegeukes]

Does the National Weather Service archive ithe following product:
Area Forecast Discussions

It would be interesting to read Area Forecast Discussions
from different offices over the years. Have no idea if
individual NWS offices keep old area forecast discussions
or the regional offices, ie CRH, SRH or the NCDC keep
old area forecast discussions.

Thanks for the link.

What I was looking for is where you can
find AFD's , that go back some 5-10 years.

The Iowa State Mtarchive used to have archives of NOAA (NWS, SPC, CPC, NHC, HPC) products going back to the start of 2002 but a disk failure destroyed most of their data so only July 2005-present is left.

Go to Google Groups (http://groups.google.com) and search for "STATE FORECAST DISCUSSION" and "FORECAST COORDINATION MESSAGE". You should at least see some discussions back to 1998 and possibly more further back.
