On the other hand, the severe depression over west central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal has intensified into a storm off north Andhra Pradesh and south Odisha coast. It is moving northwestwards at a speed of 10 km off north Andhra Pradesh and south Odisha coast during the last three hours.

It is likely to cross the coast between North Andhra Pradesh and South Odisha coasts near Kalingapatnam between Visakhapatnam Gopalpur at midnight on Saturday, moving west-northwestwards. The monsoon trough at mean sea level now extends from the cyclonic center over the northeast adjoining northwest Arabian Sea to Nalia, Malegaon, Brahmapuri, Jagdalpur, Kalingapatnam, west-central, and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal. This is likely to cause heavy rains in the area.
