Monthly Weather Review has an expanded backfile, moving the horizon back to 1950.
Monthly Weather Review - Fulltext v78+ (1950+); Print ISSN: 0027-0644 | Online ISSN: 1520-0493.
According to the NOAA Central Library, Monthly Weather Review archival fulltext is free up through volume 101 (1973), the period during which the journal was published by various units of the federal government. The Allen Press/American Meteorological Society (AMS) website does not tout this free service. As I'm at an institution which has paid for archival access to the AMS journal archives, I'm unable to independently determine the actual behavior with respect to nonsubscribers. I've sent inquiries to Allen Press and to AMS.

PS - Georgia Baugh (Saint Louis University) and Marie Schneider (NASA Ames Research Center) have independently verified the free portion of the archive.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
