Not Mammatus Steve. Those are lenticular I think. Mammatus have a different look.
We often get lenticular clouds here. Especially when the wind comes directly from the west. Certainly someone here with more storm chasing experience would be able to tell you more about them. Lenticular are formed from air current direction and sliding up an over a range of hills or mountains. Well that is how I understand it to be.
Mammatus on the other hand are usually present at the end of a lighting storm. No one is sure why they form, but that is the time to see them. I have been waiting to see some when the sun is setting. That would be spectacular.
