Recent exceptionally active tornado seasons, with NOAA's Storm Prediction Center reporting over 1,800 preliminary tornadoes in 2024—surpassing the 1991-2020 average of about 1,250—and 1,424 in 2023, are driving trader consensus toward elevated counts for 2026, concentrating odds around 1,200-1,299 (63% combined probability). This reflects heightened atmospheric instability from persistent La Niña conditions forecasted through early 2025 by NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, which historically boost springtime supercell thunderstorms in Tornado Alley via stronger wind shear and convective available potential energy (CAPE). Differentiating the razor-thin split between 1,250+ (32%) and 1,200-1,249 (31%) hinges on uncertainty in ENSO transitions and climate-driven CAPE increases, with traders weighing historical volatility against projections of 1,100-1,400 as the modal range.

Only tornadoes appearing in the final NCEI dataset for all months of 2026 will count.
As of market creation, the December report is not yet scheduled, however the release schedule can be found here: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/dyk/monthly-releases. The market will resolve based on the first relevant tornado count published on the NCEI tornado time-series page after this scheduled release time.
If the value published after this scheduled release time is labeled preliminary, it will still determine resolution, and the market will resolve independently of any subsequent revisions, corrections, or retroactive adjustments.
The market will not resolve based on any preliminary values published before the scheduled release time.
If no data is published by the scheduled release time, or if the NCEI website is temporarily unavailable, this market will remain open until that data is made available. If the relevant data is not made available by the date of the next scheduled publication ET, this market will resolve based on available data for the most recent prior month. If the NCEI website becomes permanently unavailable, this market will resolve using another credible source.
