Depression likely in South west Bay of Bengal
The Low Pressure Area (LPA) that was seen near south East Bay yesterday has intensified into a Well-Marked Low Pressure Area (WML) and is currently seen near South West Bay and the adjoining areas. This system is expected to intensify to a possible Depression during the next 24 hours and expected to move in a west north westerly direction closer to TN coast. Various Global Numerical Weather prediction models foresee a general westward movement closer to TN coast, but remain spread on the intensity and track it would take.
No proper consensus is seen with regards to the aforementioned two factors. The present conditions are favorable in terms of oceanic parameters for this system to intensify, but the atmospheric dynamics are still marginally favorable in the immediate time period. The system according to Navy NRL is estimated to have maximum winds of 20 knots and a pressure of 1007 mb. Under the influence of this Tropical disturbance, heavy rains are expected to gradually increase over coastal TN and the adjoining areas from the 16th of November 2015. Wind speeds can reach upto 60 kmph along and off TN and South AP coasts.
