Flight planning: Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional SBY / KSBY

What a pilot looks at before a flight from or to Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional in Salisbury, Maryland, in plain English: right now IFR: instrument conditions, Wind from the south-southeast (160°) at 4 knots. The warnings, reports and winds below come from the government's aviation weather service and the restrictions from the FAA, refreshed every few minutes. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools.

Warnings in force SIGMETs and AIRMETs whose area covers this field

AIRMET SIERRA 3E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist).

A SIGMET warns of weather hazardous to all aircraft (thunderstorms, severe turbulence or icing, volcanic ash); an AIRMET of weather that matters to small aircraft and to flying without instruments (moderate turbulence or icing, low cloud, strong surface wind, mountains hidden in cloud). An area is counted when it covers this field's position.

What pilots in the air told air traffic control or Flight Service: turbulence, icing, cloud tops and bases, temperature, wind, and whatever they remarked on (wind shear on final, a smooth ride). An urgent report is one of severe turbulence or icing, wind shear, or similar. Open "as filed, and in English" for the coded report and its translation line by line.

Winds and temperatures aloft forecast point ACY, 80 nm northeast of the field · for use 20:00–03:00 UTC

Height	Wind from	Speed	Temperature
3,000 ft	230° (southwest)	15 knots
6,000 ft	230° (southwest)	22 knots	15 °C
9,000 ft	230° (southwest)	31 knots	11 °C
12,000 ft	230° (southwest)	27 knots	6 °C
18,000 ft	230° (southwest)	40 knots	-7 °C

Based on data from the 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; the lowest rows are left out where the ground is already that high.

Temporary flight restrictions within 50 nautical miles, from the FAA's list

6/8719 Greenwood, DE, Friday, October 16, 2026 through Saturday, October 17, 2026 UTC 26 nm north · air shows/sports · starts Friday 16 October · ZDC
6/8886 Greenwood, DE, Sunday, October 18, 2026 UTC 26 nm north · air shows/sports · starts Sunday 18 October · ZDC
4/9383 WASHINGTON, DC., USA 48 nm northwest · security · ZDC

Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times. Ordinary notices to air missions (a closed runway, lights out, a crane) are not shown here: the FAA's notice search is not open to sites like this one at this time, and the application for the FAA's data feed is in hand.
