Convective initiation experiment conducted throughout area.  Mobile mesosnet investigated the dryline development.   Dryline set up over the homestead and S-Pol sites, very interesting to see the dewpoints fluctuate by 15 degrees in a period of a few minutes.  Rita Roberts, Fleur Couvreux, and Crystal Pettet have been using the AERI data at S-Pol for nowcasting, there only compliant was to increase the timliness of data. 
Miscellaneous:
Robin went dryline chasing (no storms) with DOW and mesonet crews but returned by mid-afternoon. ;-)
