YES if an official advisory or update from the Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN/CONAGUA) or another recognized meteorological agency explicitly refers to the system Hernan as a "hurricane" (Spanish: "huracán") or assigns it Saffir‑Simpson Category 1 or higher. This must occur no later than 00:00 on August 18, 2026 (Central Time, UTC−6). Otherwise NO.

How markets are built and settledHernan's got four days to reach hurricane status. With current data showing it still low on the scale, I doubt it'll be classified as a hurricane before the deadline.
