Are you thinking "shelf cloud"?

Ken,

 

Yes, that's it.

All,

 

Another day in paradise. Cut and paste from the National Weather Service.

 

The risk is so high, schools are closed in some of the hardiest, most storm-weathered cities.

 

Twisters started forming Monday afternoon in parts of Oklahoma and Texas -- areas that are under the most dire warning forecasters have issued for the risk of catastrophic tornadoes in two years.

 

Oklahoma City and Texas cities such as Lubbock, Amarillo and Abilene could get pounded with baseball-sized hail and hurricane-force winds, the National Weather Service said.

 

On top of that, "there is also a high risk for flash flooding from parts of Oklahoma and Kansas, where rainfall totals of 3-6" will fall on already saturated ground," CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen said. I'm in the region with flash flooding but don't expect twisters until Tuesday.
