Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday forecasted that a low pressure is likely to form over Andaman Sea in next 48 hours. The system is likely to intensify into cyclonic circulation and head towards south Odisha-north Andhra Pradesh coasts in 4-5 days.

Under its influence, a Low Pressure Area is very likely to form over the same region during the next 48 hours. It is likely to become more marked and move west-northwestwards towards south Odisha-north Andhra Pradesh coasts during subsequent 4-5 days,”.
If it intensifies into a cyclonic storm, it will be named as Cyclone Jawad.
