**NHC forecasts show Hurricane Lowell, currently a Category 4 system near 13.2°N 160.7°W with 150 mph winds, executing a northward turn this weekend that keeps its center west of the western Hawaiian Islands.** Official guidance projects the closest approach roughly 150–190 miles west of Niihau and Kauai late Monday into Monday night as a still-major hurricane, with the track remaining offshore. While ensemble spreads include some eastern solutions that could bring the center nearer, the consensus favors a miss, consistent with steering by a mid-level ridge eroding north of the islands. This positioning, combined with expected gradual weakening from increasing shear, underpins the market’s strong 88% implied probability against landfall. Heavy rainfall, surf, and tropical-storm-force winds are still anticipated across portions of the state regardless of exact track.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Hurricane Lowell makes landfall in Hawaii at Category 1 strength or higher, as reported in official Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) or National Hurricane Center (NHC) advisories (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/cphc/), between market creation and September 12, 2026, 11:59:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A landfall counts toward this determination only if it occurs within this window; the time of the physical landfall governs, not the time any confirming advisory is issued.
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or greater (Category 1 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale), as described at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php, and a hurricane landfall is said to occur when the hurricane's surface center intersects with the coastline, as described at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml#LANDFALL. Lowell must hold hurricane strength (Category 1 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale) at the moment its surface center intersects the coastline for that landfall to qualify. If Lowell is classified as a tropical storm, a tropical depression, or a post-tropical cyclone at the moment its surface center intersects the coastline, this market will resolve to "No".
Whether a landfall occurred in Hawaii is determined solely by the official CPHC or NHC advisories. If those advisories report that Lowell made landfall in Hawaii, or on any island, atoll, reef, or shoal that those advisories identify as part of Hawaii, that landfall counts for the purposes of this market. This market applies no independent geographic definition of Hawaii, and no geographic boundary other than the one the CPHC or NHC advisories apply.
The wind speed at the moment of landfall will be determined from the CPHC or NHC advisory or Special Advisory in effect at the time closest to the reported landfall time; where no advisory covers that exact moment, the most recent advisory issued prior to landfall governs.
This market will resolve based on the initial CPHC or NHC advisory reporting a qualifying landfall regardless of any later advisory, retraction, best-track revision, or reanalysis that revises Lowell's intensity downward at the time of landfall. In the event that the CPHC or NHC do not publish landfall data for Hurricane Lowell by September 12, 2026 11:59 PM ET, or if the CPHC or NHC become unavailable, this market will resolve "No".**NHC forecasts show Hurricane Lowell, currently a Category 4 system near 13.2°N 160.7°W with 150 mph winds, executing a northward turn this weekend that keeps its center west of the western Hawaiian Islands.** Official guidance projects the closest approach roughly 150–190 miles west of Niihau and Kauai late Monday into Monday night as a still-major hurricane, with the track remaining offshore.
