Wallops used to publish their sounding rocket manifest at

http://sites.wff.nasa.gov/code810/files/BlueBook.pdf

Unfortunately, when you download the document now all it says is

The Sounding Rocket Mission Schedule (Bluebook) is no longer available online.

A shorter online manifest is given at

In 1945, Wallops conducted its first-ever test rocket launch and research rocket launch. Today, we celebrate 80 years of dedication and innovation made possible through decades of support.

NGA rocket launching notice for a rocket launch from Wallops on the 18th. Zones are very different than the HASTE launch; this is unrelated. There were several LNMs posted for this launch several days ago that I'll also include. Each LNM contains a different zone, and all are fairly close to shore.
