NOAA’s August 6 update maintains a 75% probability of a below-normal 2026 Atlantic season (7–13 named storms, 2–6 hurricanes, 0–2 major hurricanes) driven primarily by a strong or very strong El Niño that is expected to produce elevated vertical wind shear across the main development region through the September peak. As of August 24, the basin remains unusually quiet with no hurricanes formed and only Tropical Storms Arthur and Bertha recorded; current disturbances east of the Lesser Antilles and near Bermuda show low-to-medium formation odds and are favored by models to recurve northward without U.S. impact. Warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures provide a partial counterbalance, yet historical analogs and reduced major-hurricane landfall probabilities (roughly 24% for the continental U.S. coastline versus a 43% long-term average) reflect the dominant suppressing influence. Traders should monitor weekly NHC Tropical Weather Outlooks and any late-August or early-September model consensus shifts that could alter steering patterns or intensification potential before the season’s busiest window.

A hurricane landfall is said to occur when a hurricane's surface center intersects with the coastline (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml#LANDFALL) and the NHC reports maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or higher (Category 1 or greater) at the time of landfall. The state of landfall is determined by the surface center's location when it crosses the coastline. If a single hurricane makes separate landfalls in more than one listed state, each such state resolves to "Yes".
Hurricane season runs from June 1, 2026 - November 30, 2026.
Each market resolves based on the initial NHC (or CPHC) advisory reporting a qualifying landfall in the relevant state, regardless of any later retraction or reanalysis. Each market may only resolve to "No" after November 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or, if an extension period applies, after December 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, if the conditions for a "Yes" resolution have not been met.
If an active tropical cyclone at hurricane strength is over water per official NHC or CPHC advisories as of 11:59 PM ET on November 30, 2026, the relevant market(s) will operate under an extension period of 7 days, and the resolution date will move to December 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET; a qualifying landfall by that hurricane during the extension period will count toward resolution.
If a qualifying landfall occurs within a market's timeframe (including any extension period) but has not yet been confirmed by an NHC or CPHC advisory by the resolution date, that market will remain open until such an advisory is issued.
