Recent degradations in the Southern Plains, Upper Midwest, and Intermountain West have expanded D4 exceptional drought areas on the U.S. Drought Monitor map valid August 25, 2026 (released August 27), with roughly 1.5–1.75% of the contiguous U.S. now at this intensity level according to NDMC/NOAA/USDA data. Persistent heat domes, below-normal precipitation, critically low soil moisture, and elevated evaporative demand have driven rapid intensification, particularly in Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Arkansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, and North Carolina. A developing strong El Niño (greater than 90% chance through January 2027 per CPC) offers longer-term relief potential for the Southwest via enhanced monsoon activity, but short-term CPC outlooks favor continued dryness and above-normal temperatures across much of the affected regions. The next USDM update, incorporating conditions through early September, will directly inform the market; traders should monitor the weekly Thursday release and any late-August precipitation shortfalls.

D4 area below 0.05% is treated as cartographic noise at state borders and resolves "No".
Alabama carries a market in May through November, so this market exists for the week valid September 1, 2026. Weeks outside that window have no Alabama market and make no claim about Alabama's drought.
Each USDM release covers the seven-day period ending Tuesday at 8:00 AM ET and is published the following Thursday.
Resolution is based on the first published US Drought Monitor release for the listed week. Subsequent revisions will not be considered; the first published release is final.
The resolution source for this market is the US Drought Monitor at droughtmonitor.unl.edu.
