Decent magnitude monsoon rains are to be confined to the western Himalayan states of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and parts of Jammu and Kashmir.

Meanwhile, TS all set to continue in most parts of TN. A trough on sea level chart runs from Coastal Andhra Pradesh to Comorin area across Coastal Tamil Nadu.
