Mesoscale Discussions (MCDs):
Not much of a log needed. It was apparent beforehand that initiation would be an issue. With the upper-level system coming through after dark, I knew we were relying entirely on dryline convergence for initiation. Despite marginal-moderate CAPE and decent shear, forcing and convergence proved too weak to initiate any convection. The Cu field began to dissipate by 5pm, and we turned around soon thereafter.
