As most of you prolly know, we have been in a steady la nina for about the past 6 months. NOAA reports SST's 1.5 degrees below normal, not amazingly strong by any means. Im sure this has been up for some discussion but it seems to me like there have been some steady and noticable trends in rainfall since then. The central US (especially oklahoma, texas, kansas) have received well above average rainfall, while states like GA,AL,SC,NC have been in severe/critical drought with no releif in sight. La Nina here in North East SC usually means a drier winter with unstable temps (seems to be the case, its going to be 80 degrees here the next few days). With the way things are now, and the way things are looking to persist and/or intensify, what has been the outcome for spring severe weather the last time something like this happened taking into acccount both the precipitation surplus and deficits for both areas and the persisting la nina.
On a side note/question, doe anybody remember the ENSO index for the 2004 storm season? I beleive thats the year where we had the most tornado reports on record, correct me if im wrong.
