Flying into TUS today, the second time I ended up being on Base about to turn Final when the wind sheer warnings came. It was my first experience actually being in line with it. Tower kept me informed of the situation (cool to hear the sirens going off in the background of their mics). Decided that I was best (duh) to avoid it. I flew around the little cell (looked like a couple mile long swath of virgo) and then landed on the backside of it, opposite runway. My "real" base leg was insanely bumpy and windy, too. Interesting too was that I floated probably halfway down the super long TUS runway b/c of the back end wind. Loved it. Nice and gusty crosswind landing.
Word out to the ATC guys at TUS.
