More information about the copyright of the data used and the current licenses of this image can be found on the file discription page in #Licensing. While some of the data used in this map may be in the public domain and tagged as such, the final map is not.

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.
