Description
Hurricane landfall in the conterminous United States by May 31, 2026 is being tracked. The Yes outcome requires the National Hurricane Center to issue an advisory confirming that a hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or higher has made landfall in the U.S. coastline between December 4, 2025, and May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. If no qualifying landfall occurs within this window, the No outcome will resolve after May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. The resolution relies on the initial NHC advisory announcing landfall, even if later corrections occur.

Rules
This market will resolve to "Yes" if a hurricane makes landfall in the conterminous United States within this market's timeframe, between December 4, 2025, and May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET as described in official National Hurricane Center advisories (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2025/). If no tropical systems make landfall in the conterminous United States at hurricane status within this market's timeframe, this market will resolve to "No". This market may only resolve to "No" after May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET if the conditions for a "Yes" resolution have not been met. For the purpose of this market, a hurricane landfall is said to occur when a hurricane's surface center intersects with the coastline, as described at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml#LANDFALL , and the NHC officially reports that the storm has maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or higher at the time of landfall. This market will resolve based on an initial advisory released by the NHC that a hurricane has made landfall within the conterminous United States within the market timeframe regardless of any later retraction or analysis that may contradict the initial announcement.
