The current setup is a bit different from what we saw in 2002-2003.  Around this time in 2003, we were seeing the end of a weak El Nino.  This year, we have seen more of a prolonged period of neutral conditions.  Moreover, because ENSO neutral conditions don't provide the atmosphere much of a "push," the dominant factors affecting the Central/Southern Plains weather in April will likely be unrelated to ENSO.  With that said, you can take a look at the CPC's latest thinking in the March - May 2020 seasonal outlook.
