Recent U.S. Drought Monitor data valid September 15, 2026, show exceptional (D4) drought covering 1.7% of the contiguous United States, concentrated in southern and northern Texas, western and southern Oklahoma, parts of Arkansas, and along the Arkansas-Mississippi border. These conditions stem from the warmest June-August on record across the Lower 48, paired with below-normal precipitation that intensified flash drought in the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley. The National Drought Mitigation Center’s weekly blend of precipitation indices, soil moisture, streamflow, and evaporative demand supports the D4 classification where deficits exceed historical 2nd-percentile thresholds. The next USDM release on September 24 will reflect conditions through September 22; Climate Prediction Center outlooks favor above-normal temperatures but mixed precipitation, with drier signals over the central U.S. and potential relief in the East and Southwest that could limit further D4 expansion or allow modest improvement depending on actual rainfall totals.

The resolution source for this market is the US Drought Monitor at droughtmonitor.unl.edu.Recent U.S. Drought Monitor data valid September 15, 2026, show exceptional (D4) drought covering 1.7% of the contiguous United States, concentrated in southern and northern Texas, western and southern Oklahoma, parts of Arkansas, and along the Arkansas-Mississippi border. These conditions stem from the warmest June-August on record across the Lower 48, paired with below-normal precipitation that intensified flash drought in the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley. The National Drought Mitigation Center’s weekly blend of precipitation indices, soil moisture, streamflow, and evaporative demand supports the D4 classification where deficits exceed historical 2nd-percentile thresholds. The next USDM release on September 24 will reflect conditions through September 22; Climate Prediction Center outlooks favor above-normal temperatures but mixed precipitation, with drier signals over the central U.S. and potential relief in the East and Southwest that could limit further D4 expansion or allow modest improvement depending on actual rainfall totals.

The resolution source for this market is the US Drought Monitor at droughtmonitor.unl.edu.Recent U.S. Drought Monitor data valid September 15, 2026, show exceptional (D4) drought covering 1.7% of the contiguous United States, concentrated in southern and northern Texas, western and southern Oklahoma, parts of Arkansas, and along the Arkansas-Mississippi border. These conditions stem from the warmest June-August on record across the Lower 48, paired with below-normal precipitation that intensified flash drought in the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley. The National Drought Mitigation Center’s weekly blend of precipitation indices, soil moisture, streamflow, and evaporative demand supports the D4 classification where deficits exceed historical 2nd-percentile thresholds. The next USDM release on September 24 will reflect conditions through September 22; Climate Prediction Center outlooks favor above-normal temperatures but mixed precipitation, with drier signals over the central U.S. and potential relief in the East and Southwest that could limit further D4 expansion or allow modest improvement depending on actual rainfall totals.
