Buy the day's high, up to fifteen days ahead
Every day of the next fifteen has a ladder of lines on the station's daily high, priced from the oracle's sixteen-day forecast. The band around the forecast is how far it can be wrong at that lead - measured by Weather Market's Forecast Watch, which scores every model against the station records markets settle on. Each contract settles on the station's final, settleable day record, anchored on Flare.
Los Angeles · station KLAX · daily high, next 15 local days
Weather Market's Forecast Watch keeps every model's forecast from before the day and scores it against the station's final record - the number these markets settle on. These prices use the Open-Meteo blend. Its forecast high has run 1.01°F cold against the station's recorded high, so prices add that back.

YES pays if the first model's day-before forecast of the daily high is closer over the week, by Forecast Watch's score for exactly those days.
A YES or NO share on whether the station's high for that local day reaches the line. YES pays 1 sUSDT if it does, NO if it does not. Trading on a day closes when the day ends at the station.
The opening price is the forecast's probability: the forecast high, corrected by the bias Forecast Watch measured, with a spread that widens with the lead. Past the leads Forecast Watch scores (1 to 7 days), its measured slope is extended; until it has scored enough days, the lead-time model stands in. The crowd moves the price from there.
On the station's own record, once the oracle marks the day final (three hours after local midnight) and settleable (no reporting gap beyond the station's normal interval plus 30 minutes). Otherwise withheld: every position refunded at cost. Rules →
