NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center maintains its below-normal outlook for the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, citing strengthening El Niño conditions that increase wind shear and suppress storm organization across the main development region. As of September 9, five named storms have formed with zero reaching hurricane strength and accumulated cyclone energy running 92 percent below the 1991–2020 median; the National Hurricane Center reports no active Atlantic systems and zero formation probability in the next seven days. Warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures offer limited counterbalancing support, but model consensus favors continued subdued activity through the peak period. Traders are therefore weighting reduced overall landfall risk, with upcoming NHC seasonal updates and any late-September model runs from NOAA providing the next key data points that could shift regional probabilities for Gulf or East Coast strikes.

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.
