You'll need to find some data from that time. Iowa state has an archive of
model and observation data that covers that time:
http://mtarchive.geol.iastate.edu/

Note - this archive is in gempak format. The IDV can read the grids and the 
latest
nightly builds of the IDV can read the observation data (shakily).

You can also get radar data from ncdc:
