3 prediction markets price this story:

• Category 3 or above — the market puts it at 48%, with $21k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Tropical Storm Isaias attains maximum sustained winds of at least 111 mph. It resolves to No if it fails to reach that wind speed threshold. Readers often mistake the storm's category for the resolution criteria, but only the specific wind speed matters.
• Isaias — the market puts it at 99%, with $1k 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 — the market puts it at 99%, with $7k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Dec 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.
