3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Category 4 or above — the market puts it at 25%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Tropical Storm Vance achieves maximum sustained winds of at least 130 mph. It resolves to No if it does not reach that wind speed threshold. Readers often mistake the storm's category for the resolution criteria, but only the specific wind speed matters.
  • Category 4 or higher landfall — the market puts it at 2%, with $94 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a Category 4 or stronger hurricane makes landfall in Florida (excluding the Keys) between October 6, 2026, and December 31, 2026. The outcome depends on an official report from NOAA's National Hurricane Center confirming the event within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the start date for October 5 or assume any wind speed qualifies without a confirmed landfall.
  • Category 3 or higher landfall — the market puts it at 1%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a Category 3 or stronger hurricane makes landfall in the Northeast United States between October 6, 2026, and December 31, 2026. The event must be officially reported by NOAA's National Hurricane Center. Readers often mistake the wind speed threshold, forgetting that only Category 3 or higher storms count.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
