Unseasonably weak surface pressure pattern prevails across the entire forecast area. As a result, easterly winds are generally light to gentle on either side of the convergence zone boundary. Scatterometer data shows a few small areas of moderate to fresh trade winds, but nothing very significant except for some fresh southerly winds S of Panama, north of 05N and east of 81W.
