Current U.S. Drought Monitor data valid August 25, 2026, and released August 27 show D4 exceptional drought persisting in portions of Colorado, western Nebraska, northeastern Idaho, northeastern Oregon, and isolated southern California desert areas, driven by multi-month precipitation deficits, critically low soil moisture and groundwater, and ongoing heat. These conditions align with broader D1–D4 coverage across roughly 44% of the contiguous U.S., concentrated in the West and northern Great Plains. A strengthening El Niño is expected to favor above-normal temperatures and variable precipitation through September, with potential drought persistence in the Northwest and High Plains but relief signals in the Southwest. The next USDM map, issued around September 3 and reflecting conditions through September 1, will incorporate the latest NOAA/NWS precipitation analyses, satellite-derived soil moisture, and local impact reports to determine D4 status for the resolution week.

D4 area below 0.05% is treated as cartographic noise at state borders and resolves "No".
Alabama carries a market in May through November, so this market exists for the week valid September 1, 2026. Weeks outside that window have no Alabama market and make no claim about Alabama's drought.
Each USDM release covers the seven-day period ending Tuesday at 8:00 AM ET and is published the following Thursday.
Resolution is based on the first published US Drought Monitor release for the listed week. Subsequent revisions will not be considered; the first published release is final.
The resolution source for this market is the US Drought Monitor at droughtmonitor.unl.edu.
