This market can not resolve until the first data point for the following date has been published on the resolution source. The resolution source for this market measures temperatures to whole degrees Fahrenheit (eg, 21°F). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.

Current forecast consensus from NWS and multiple models shows Austin reaching a high near 104°F on August 22 under a persistent upper-level ridge and heat dome suppressing cloud cover and precipitation across the southern Plains. Southerly flow and strong daytime heating support this outcome, with heat indices near 109°F and only isolated storm chances. This aligns with the ongoing August heat wave featuring repeated triple-digit readings well above the 96.4°F climatological average high for the date, though slightly below the 107°F record. Market-implied odds concentrate on the 104-105°F bin as the most probable resolution given stable model guidance and minimal expected variability.
