Results Sep 25🤖 Context
A yes requires that, on or before September 24, 2026, the National Hurricane Center issues a public advisory upgrading the feature designated Invest 98L in the open Atlantic to Tropical Storm status and assigns it an official name. The NHC stopped tracking Invest 98L after it weakened, and reports show it was no longer being followed as of 08:00 UTC on September 18, 2026, with no NHC advisory upgrading and naming that feature by September 24. Because Invest 98L was not upgraded and named on or before September 24, 2026, the market resolves to no.

Final crowd probability
The crowd was 77% sure, and they nailed it.
Why: The supplied reporting shows Invest 98L did not become a named tropical storm. A Naples Daily News story (USA TODAY Network) states that by 08:00 UTC on 2026-09-18 the feature had diminished and the National Hurricane Center stopped tracking Invest 98L. None of the provided sources report Invest 98L being upgraded and named by Sept 24; subsequent coverage that notes formation of named storms (e.g. Fay) describes those storms as originating from different disturbances. The decisive observation is the NHC having stopped tracking Invest 98L on 2026-09-18, which establishes it was not upgraded to a tropical storm on or before 2026-09-24.

Given the current conditions and the NHC's timeline, I expect Invest 98L to be upgraded soon and named before the deadline. The odds are good here.
