Weather Awareness
5.19 Icing
NOTE
Due to the incremental and overlapping nature of the FIS broadcast,
timestamps, regional coverage, and map data availability may vary with
altitude for computer generated FIS-B icing forecasts.
Icing potential is not a forecast, but a presentation of icing potential at the time of
analysis. For FIS-B, the icing timestamp shows the valid time in UTC. For SiriusXM, it
shows the time of data compilation.
Supercooled Large Droplet (SLD) icing conditions are characterized by the presence
of relatively large, super cooled water droplets indicative of freezing drizzle and
freezing rain aloft. SLD threat areas are depicted as black and pink blocks over the
icing colors.
AVAILABLE WITH:
FIS-B | SIRIUSXM
