Don't like the sounds of this regarding this spring in the plains.

"This pattern will favor continued drought in parts of the South and Southwest from Arizona to Arkansas and Louisiana, and above normal precipitation in the Northwest and the Tennessee Valley area." Periodic precipitation in the drought areas and dryness in the stormy areas also are typical within the larger scale climate pattern described above.

I was looking for NAM news (North American Monsoon) in the article but instead found...

"Typically, La Niña events favor increased Atlantic hurricane activity, however, Jim Laver, director of the NOAA Climate Prediction Center says, "It is too early to say with confidence what effects this La Niña event will have on the 2006 hurricane season."

We must keep in mind that three of the nation's worst tornado outbreaks in history..... April 11-12, 1965; April 3-4, 1974; and May 3, 1999.....EACH happened during or coming out of a La Nina episode......

This study depicts a larger number of tornadoes and outbreaks during a La Nina event. It looks like it could still be a busy chase season for some.
