No problem, there's a lot of discussion on the other thread that anyone that might be looking at this thread would be interested to read too.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

They are also talking about this on wx-chase some and someone posted a good link for longer term forecasts. For the period through April it shows the current general trend continuing with average to above average rain in southern plains areas Tx, and a bit into OK and perhaps KS as I recall. This should increase ground moisture content and potential evapotranspiration come the May time frame. As I understand, it it during the April / May timeframe that we maybe switching to La Nina. So if those troughs do set up as others have mentioned to our west and and southwest flow continues I would assume there will at least be a favorable transition time in the southern plains for severe / tornadic weather. The extent and specific location is uncertain. After that it appears it will then dry up quite a bit and get hot down south as is typical and June-Aug would naturally see the pattern move north.
In all it sounds to me like we will have good opportunities for severe this Spring. Dare I say possibly even in Tx? But I'm not gonna jinx it.
