The Storm Prediction Center's Day 1 convective outlook for August 23, 2026, issued a slight risk of severe thunderstorms focused on the central High Plains, driven by modest instability and weak deep-layer shear ahead of a weak front. Tornado probabilities remained low at around 2% within 25 miles of any point, with isolated supercell potential favoring hail and wind threats instead. This setup contrasted with more active patterns earlier in the month, reflecting typical late-summer conditions where moisture and lift are limited outside focused corridors. Resolution hinges on verified tornado reports or warnings from official NWS sources in affected counties. Updated model guidance and evening mesoscale discussions could refine local probabilities ahead of any final verification.

The SPC Day 1 Convective Outlook assigns tornado probability percentages (2%, 5%, 10%, etc.) to geographic areas across the US. If the city's coordinates fall inside any area rated 2% or higher, that city resolves "Yes". If a city is outside all tornado probability areas, or only within areas rated below 2%, that city resolves "No".
The SPC outlook is published as machine-readable geographic data (GeoJSON) at spc.noaa.gov. Each city's coordinates and the polygon boundaries are publicly verifiable. Borderline cases can be independently confirmed using the polygon data (excluding the hatched SIGN overlay, which is not a probability rating) and the city's listed coordinates. The point-in-polygon test is performed on unprojected WGS84 (EPSG:4326) coordinates, which is the native coordinate system of the SPC GeoJSON data.
Resolution is based on the scheduled 01:00 UTC Day 1 Convective Outlook update issued on the following UTC calendar day. The SPC Day 1 outlook covers a 24-hour period from 12:00 UTC to 12:00 UTC the following day. Subsequent revisions published after that scheduled update will not be considered. If the SPC outlook is not published or is unavailable, the market remains open until data is available.
The resolution source for this market is the NOAA Storm Prediction Center at spc.noaa.gov.
This market uses coordinates 37.6872, -97.3301 for Wichita, KS.
