Boundary layer convergence lines (boundaries), an important trigger of convective storms, can be produced by land surface contrasts. This study explored a five‐year summertime radar climatology of boundaries and their associated convection in response to vegetation contrast around the bend of the Yellow River in North China. A total of 323 boundaries were identified with 44% being convection‐associated. The boundaries especially the convective boundaries were more frequent over the arid area than those over the vegetated area and tended to have an orientation parallel to the vegetation contrast line. The boundary activities collocated well with the diurnal variation in surface temperature difference across the vegetation contrast. Compared with the nonconvective boundaries, the convective boundaries formed earlier and moved faster into the inner arid area, obtained maximum length around midday, and then initiated convection. Vegetation contrast might also affect the high‐frequency location and magnitude of boundary‐associated convective precipitation.
