Got some FUNKY clouds forming to my S-SW, PITCH black with low white clouds (possible wall cloud?) on the underside..these cells are moving in a N-NE direction, making a BEELINE for ME!! What a WAY to END to '05 Monsoon Season!

Dennis

Here's the radar, I'm just to the east of Show Low in the east part of the state......look at the line moving NE!!

HEY....I DID IT!! It worked......check out THIS cloud

Dennis

The shear was initially forecast to be a bit below threshold for supercell tornadoes, but landspouts are certainly possible and there will definitely be some rotating hailers. We are just a bit too far south down here for that type of action. Best actvity today has been west and north of us.

Steve

pretty impressive shelf cloud there man .... very nice picture you took.
