Recent U.S. Drought Monitor data valid September 15, 2026, show exceptional (D4) drought covering 1.7% of the contiguous United States, concentrated in far south Texas, northern Texas into western and southern Oklahoma, northwestern and northeastern Arkansas, and the Arkansas-Mississippi border. These conditions stem from the warmest June–August on record, persistent mid-level ridging that suppressed rainfall, and elevated evaporative demand driven by above-normal temperatures and low humidity across the southern Plains. A strengthening El Niño, with high probability of a historically strong event by fall 2026, is expected to favor drier conditions in the southern tier through late September before potentially increasing precipitation later in the season. The next USDM release on September 24 will reflect conditions through September 22, incorporating any late-month rainfall or continued heat that could shift D4 boundaries in key states.

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.
If the US Drought Monitor has not been published by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the scheduled publication date, this market will resolve to "No".
