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 29 August 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 image was taken in the United States on May 27, 1997, by Scott Beckwith of Jarrell Farm Supply, Jarrell Texas. There is no claim or suggestion that he was working as an employee of the US federal government or that this image was ineligible for copyright for any other reason. Therefore, as an image created in the US after 1989, copyright came into being as soon as the image was made.

This image has been uploaded to Commons based on a rationale that it is covered by the site disclaimer for weather.gov and/or the submission guidelines for the Sioux City NWS office.

This file is not hosted on weather.gov, so the disclaimer for that site does not appear to apply, and there is no evidence to connect it with the Sioux City office image submission guidelines, so this rationale does not appear to apply either.

If this template was added because you clicked "Mark for deletion" in the left menu (right when using Vector 2022 skin), please make sure that all necessary pages have been created. If they haven't been created after a few minutes, or if you added this template manually, you should complete these steps:

Licensing

Caution: License review in progress

As of August 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.

*A deletion discussion in November 2023 ruled that Getty Images on the web servers of NWS, are to be considered copyrighted, even without a copyright (©) watermark and are the sole exception to this rule.
