DISCUSSION: As deep convection quickly erupted yesterday evening near the dry-line (i.e., atmospheric boundary which separates drier, hotter desert-native air from warmer and moister tropically-native air) across Northern and Northeastern Texas! As you see in the brief video below, there was a clear signal for the presence of intense updrafts based on the deeper "bubbly" features which developed within the white convective cloud region. You can also identify upper-atmospheric phenomena referred to as "gravity waves" induced as a result of intense convective updrafts beginning to propagate away (in the form of north-south oriented ripples within the convective cloud region) from the most intense part of the storm as you can see between 0:10 and 0:03 seconds into the satellite imagery clip!
