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!

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.
