Analysis

This contract resolves based on whether April 2026 will record more than 175 tornado events in the United States. The 97% probability reflects historical tornado frequency data and seasonal patterns; April is typically the second-most active tornado month after May, with average counts often exceeding this threshold. The probability would move downward if April weather patterns prove unusually stable or atmospheric conditions fail to support tornado development. Resolution will depend on official preliminary tornado counts released by the Storm Data division of the National Weather Service, typically available within weeks after month-end. The single largest factor determining outcome is spring atmospheric conditions during April—specifically the frequency and intensity of severe weather systems moving through tornado alley.

  • Historical April tornado averages in the U.S. typically range from 80–120 events, meaning 175 is well above the median but achievable in active seasons
  • Spring 2026 sea-surface temperature patterns and upper-level atmospheric conditions will determine tornado-supporting weather system frequency during April
  • The National Weather Service Storm Data database provides the official tornado count; preliminary April data becomes available in early May with possible adjustments through mid-year
  • An exceptionally dry or stable atmospheric pattern in April would reduce severe weather system development and lower tornado likelihood
  • El Niño or La Niña conditions and the North Atlantic Oscillation phase influence spring severe weather frequency and intensity across the tornado belt

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
