Elevated confirmed tornado reports through mid-August 2026, exceeding 1,100 nationwide with Illinois alone surpassing 200, have positioned the 1250+ bin as the clear market leader at 85.5% implied probability. This pace substantially outstrips typical seasonal accumulation, driven by frequent Midwest outbreaks amid favorable moisture transport from the Gulf and jet-stream patterns that enhanced supercell development despite an El Niño influence that muted May activity. NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary data show the year tracking toward or above the upper end of the long-term annual average near 1,200, with remaining months typically adding several hundred reports. Trader consensus reflects limited downside risk from late-year declines given current momentum and climatological baselines.

This market will resolve according to the number of tornadoes recorded in the United States in 2026, based on the monthly counts published on the National Centers for Environmental Information U.S. Tornadoes Time Series page (see: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/tornadoes/time-series).
Only tornadoes appearing in the final NCEI dataset for all months of 2026 will count.
As of market creation, the December report is not yet scheduled, however the release schedule can be found here: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/dyk/monthly-releases. The market will resolve based on the first relevant tornado count published on the NCEI tornado time-series page after this scheduled release time.
If the value published after this scheduled release time is labeled preliminary, it will still determine resolution, and the market will resolve independently of any subsequent revisions, corrections, or retroactive adjustments.
The market will not resolve based on any preliminary values published before the scheduled release time.
If no data is published by the scheduled release time, or if the NCEI website is temporarily unavailable, this market will remain open until that data is made available. If the relevant data is not made available by the date of the next scheduled publication ET, this market will resolve based on available data for the most recent prior month. If the NCEI website becomes permanently unavailable, this market will resolve using another credible source.Elevated confirmed tornado reports through mid-August 2026, exceeding 1,100 nationwide with Illinois alone surpassing 200, have positioned the 1250+ bin as the clear market leader at 85.5% implied probability.
