**Exceptional drought (D4) conditions on the U.S. Drought Monitor remain limited but entrenched in specific regions as of the latest map (data valid August 18, 2026).** Areas of D4 appear in northeastern Oregon, far southern Idaho, western Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle, and southeastern Arkansas, driven by prolonged dryness, record July heat across the Intermountain West, and flash drought intensification in the Southern Plains where high pressure suppressed rainfall and elevated temperatures rapidly depleted soil moisture. Nationally, D4 covers roughly 1.1% of the U.S., while broader D1–D4 drought affects 44% of the contiguous states. The Intermountain West shows nearly 95% in some drought category, with reservoirs at multi-decade lows that compound long-term deficits despite isolated monsoon showers. Southern states continue degrading due to anomalously warm, dry conditions that have damaged vegetation, lowered well levels, and stressed agriculture. Short-term forecasts through late August favor little precipitation along the West Coast and below-normal rainfall across much of Texas, with above-normal warmth widespread. The 6–10 day outlook (August 25–29) highlights continued dryness in Texas and potential relief only in parts of the East and northern tier. The next U.S. Drought Monitor map, based on conditions through approximately August 25 and released around August 27, will directly inform market resolution; any expansion of D4 hinges on whether recent dryness and heat push additional indicators (precipitation percentiles, soil moisture, streamflow) into exceptional territory in currently affected states.

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 August 25, 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.
