Yeah, if you feel the cold wind its too late. The cold air is actually outflow from the thunderstorm collapsing, so you are feeling the air from about 30-50 thousand feet up as it is dropping fast. Usually the outflow only lasts for 15-25 minutes and then conditions go back to the way they were before it started. Sometimes you can see the outflow boundry on the radar and you can also see them coming at you a good distance out as well with the old eyeball.
