Hi, i had spent past week or 2 trying to find the Archive of the forecast data from the webservice API under

/gridpoints/{wfo}/{x},{y}
and /gridpoints/{wfo}/{x},{y}/forecast

Looking especially for the thunderstorm Probability and Lightning activity.

Are they kept somewhere? If so, can anyone point me to it?
Thank you
Thanks for your time

Hello! These endpoints are for current forecasts. I believe there is no archived data, unfortunately.

So it might be hard to capture these values -- probabilityOfThunder and lightningActivityLevel -- since you have to get the data as it happens or is forecast to happen for a specific location. You might be able to query active weather alerts for "severe thunderstorm warning" and the like (related documentation) and then grab the corresponding location data, though.

Does that help?
