Enhanced moisture transport from abnormally warm Gulf of Mexico waters and a North Pacific marine heat wave, combined with an emerging El Niño pattern, drove widespread convective activity and thunderstorms across the central and eastern U.S. on August 24, 2026. National Weather Service observations recorded record 24-hour rainfall in central Ohio exceeding 3.8 inches at Columbus, with additional measurable precipitation and thunderstorms reported in parts of Florida, North Carolina, Nebraska, and the Midwest, while much of Texas and the Southwest remained dry under high pressure. These patterns aligned with typical late-summer instability but were amplified by jet stream steering of tropical moisture plumes. NWS climate summaries and radar data released on August 25 provide the primary verification sources for market resolution, with any model revisions or station adjustments representing the main remaining uncertainty for traders.

The resolution source for this market is the NWS Daily Climate Report (CLI) for KBOS.This market will resolve to "Yes" if New Orleans, LA records measurable precipitation on August 24, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
Measurable precipitation means 0.01 inches or more as reported by the PRECIPITATION (IN) figure in the NWS Daily Climate Report (CLI) for the city's station.
A report of trace ("T") does not qualify.
The PRECIPITATION (IN) figure measures total liquid-equivalent precipitation and does not distinguish between precipitation types.
The observation period is the NWS climate day for KMSY: midnight to midnight local standard time. The final CLI report for a climate day is issued the following morning.
Resolution is based on the station's first published precipitation figure for the day. Subsequent revisions or corrections to the published data will not be considered; the first published value is final.

The resolution source for this market is the NWS Daily Climate Report (CLI) for KSFO.Enhanced moisture transport from abnormally warm Gulf of Mexico waters and a North Pacific marine heat wave, combined with an emerging El Niño pattern, drove widespread convective activity and thunderstorms across the central and eastern U.S. on August 24, 2026. National Weather Service observations recorded record 24-hour rainfall in central Ohio exceeding 3.8 inches at Columbus, with additional measurable precipitation and thunderstorms reported in parts of Florida, North Carolina, Nebraska, and the Midwest, while much of Texas and the Southwest remained dry under high pressure. These patterns aligned with typical late-summer instability but were amplified by jet stream steering of tropical moisture plumes. NWS climate summaries and radar data released on August 25 provide the primary verification sources for market resolution, with any model revisions or station adjustments representing the main remaining uncertainty for traders.
