**NOAA and NHC data show the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season running well below normal through early September, with only five named tropical storms (Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly, Edouard) and zero hurricanes to date.** Accumulated cyclone energy stands at just 4.4, roughly 92% below the 1991–2020 average. A strong El Niño is the dominant factor, producing elevated wind shear that inhibits tropical cyclone development and intensification across the main development region. The latest NHC outlook indicates no formation expected in the next seven days, even as the climatological peak passes around September 10. Seasonal forecasts from NOAA and Colorado State University continue to project 7–13 named storms, 2–6 hurricanes, and 0–2 major hurricanes overall, implying reduced odds of any U.S. hurricane landfall compared with historical norms. Traders will watch upcoming NHC model runs and weekly outlooks for signs of late-season development that could still produce a landfall before November 30.

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.
