Shearwise ascent is identified as the main contributor to dynamical ascent in springtime MCS development.
A baroclinically organized trough-ride couplet facilitates the primary uplift mechanism, favoring storm initiation.
Transverse ascent from warm frontogenesis plays a lesser role, being limited compared to shearwise processes.
Stronger shearwise ascent correlates with larger, more precipitation-generating MCSs in the Great Plains.

This analysis identifies synoptic uplift dynamics influencing mesoscale convective systems, suggesting their impact on storm intensity.
