Recent convective outlooks from NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center indicate only marginal to slight severe risks across the northern Plains, Rockies, and Southeast through month’s end, consistent with climatological decline after peak spring/early-summer activity. Preliminary reports show 48 tornadoes through mid-August 2026, tracking near the long-term August average of roughly 80 touchdowns when extrapolated over the remaining days. Elevated 2026 totals overall, driven by persistent instability and shear in the Midwest, have not produced the large-scale outbreaks typical of peak months, supporting trader consensus around the 80–119 bin as the most probable range. Model guidance shows no strong signals for anomalous patterns that would push counts significantly above or below historical norms before September.

Only tornadoes appearing in the final NCEI dataset for that month will count.
As of market creation, the relevant report is scheduled to be released on September 9, 2026, at 5:01 PM GMT+1 or 11:00 AM ET (Release schedule: 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.
