How can we analysis wind convergence at 850hpa?

Convergence

@TUSHAR-Naik
Set the Altitude at 850hPa and look if winds are converging like in this example, creating a long band of calm

@idefix37 what happens when wind converge?
Does convergence cause rain?

@TUSHAR-Naik

It could.
Specially in convective weather with enough humidity. To check it where there are converging winds, switch to Rain layer to see if the model predicts some rain or thunderstorms in the same area.
The picture of converging winds that I provided was in a desert, so there was no chance of rain.
At the moment in Louisiana there are strong thunderstorms

And there are areas of converging winds at surface and at 850hPa
