Recent U.S. Drought Monitor data valid August 18, 2026, indicate D4 exceptional drought confined to portions of western Nebraska, Colorado, northeastern Oregon, and far southern Idaho amid broader D2–D3 expansion across the Northern Plains and Northwest. Persistent above-normal temperatures combined with below-average precipitation have accelerated soil moisture losses and vegetation stress in these regions, consistent with National Drought Mitigation Center monitoring. Scattered convective rainfall has produced localized improvements elsewhere, but model consensus for the August 25–29 period favors continued dryness over much of the affected area. The imminent USDM release, which resolves the market based on states exceeding the 0.05% D4 area threshold, remains sensitive to any last-minute rainfall shifts that could alter state-level coverage.

D4 area below 0.05% is treated as cartographic noise at state borders and resolves "No".
Alabama carries a market in May through November, so this market exists for the week valid August 25, 2026. Weeks outside that window have no Alabama market and make no claim about Alabama's drought.
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.
The resolution source for this market is the US Drought Monitor at droughtmonitor.unl.edu.
