**Trader sentiment for the "Where will it rain on August 28?" market is now anchored in finalized NOAA and National Weather Service precipitation observations rather than forecasts.** On August 28, 2026, scattered showers and thunderstorms delivered measurable rainfall across portions of the Southeast, Midwest, and isolated western areas, while many locations recorded none. Official daily summaries and radar estimates show localized totals of 0.1–0.5 inches in affected zones, consistent with typical late-August convective patterns under moderate instability and weak steering flow. Resolution hinges on station-specific gauges (e.g., airport ASOS reports) meeting the market’s geographic and threshold criteria, with any post-event revisions considered only until the next day’s data finalize. This skin-in-the-game consensus reflects the high spatial variability of summer rainfall, where small shifts in storm tracks or timing can swing outcomes between listed cities or regions.

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 KNYC: midnight to midnight local standard time. The final CLI report for a climate day is issued the following morning.
Resolution is based on the most recent CLI report published for the observation date. If multiple versions of the report are issued, the last version published before 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date governs. If no figure has been published by that time, this market will resolve to "No".
The resolution source for this market is the NWS Daily Climate Report (CLI) for KNYC, published at https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&product=CLI&issuedby=NYC.
