3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Isaias — the market puts it at 99%, with $701 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if a storm named Isaias becomes a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean between May 15, 2026, and December 1, 2026. It resolves to No if it does not meet this criteria within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the formation of a tropical storm for the resolution condition, but the system requires the storm to reach hurricane status.
  • Isaias — resolved “Yes” on 8 Oct 2026. The market resolves to "Yes" if a storm named Isaias becomes the first hurricane in the Atlantic between May 15 and December 1, 2026. The resolution depends on the storm reaching hurricane status, not just forming as a tropical storm. Readers often mistake the formation date for the resolution deadline, but the key is when it achieves hurricane classification within the specified timeframe.
  • Before Dec 31, 2026 — the market puts it at 50%, with $6k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if a named storm called Isaias makes landfall or intersects Alabama between now and December 31, 2026, with sustained winds of at least 74 mph reported in consecutive National Hurricane Center advisories. The two advisories must be issued no more than 12 hours apart and include latitude and longitude coordinates rounded to the nearest 0.1 degree.
