NOAA’s updated August 6 outlook for the 2026 Atlantic season maintains a 75% probability of below-normal activity, forecasting 7–13 named storms, 2–6 hurricanes, and 0–2 major hurricanes (Saffir-Simpson category 3+), incorporating the two early tropical storms Arthur and Bertha. Weak-to-moderate El Niño conditions are elevating vertical wind shear across the main development region, suppressing intensification and reducing overall formation risk through the climatological peak in early September. No Atlantic systems are currently expected to develop in the next seven days per National Hurricane Center guidance. Landfall locations remain governed by short-term steering patterns and individual storm tracks rather than seasonal totals, with new NHC model runs and NOAA updates providing the next key data points for traders assessing regional probabilities along the Gulf or Southeast coasts.

A hurricane landfall is said to occur when a hurricane's surface center intersects with the coastline (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml#LANDFALL) and the NHC reports maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or higher (Category 1 or greater) at the time of landfall. The state of landfall is determined by the surface center's location when it crosses the coastline. If a single hurricane makes separate landfalls in more than one listed state, each such state resolves to "Yes".
Hurricane season runs from June 1, 2026 - November 30, 2026.
Each market resolves based on the initial NHC (or CPHC) advisory reporting a qualifying landfall in the relevant state, regardless of any later retraction or reanalysis. Each market may only resolve to "No" after November 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or, if an extension period applies, after December 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, if the conditions for a "Yes" resolution have not been met.
If an active tropical cyclone at hurricane strength is over water per official NHC or CPHC advisories as of 11:59 PM ET on November 30, 2026, the relevant market(s) will operate under an extension period of 7 days, and the resolution date will move to December 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET; a qualifying landfall by that hurricane during the extension period will count toward resolution.
If a qualifying landfall occurs within a market's timeframe (including any extension period) but has not yet been confirmed by an NHC or CPHC advisory by the resolution date, that market will remain open until such an advisory is issued.
