Heavy to very heavy rainfall coupled with gusty surface wind is likely to lash many parts of Odisha in the next 24 hours due to a well marked low pressure over Bay of Bengal.
The well marked low pressure area of yesterday now lies over west central Bay of Bengal and its neighbourhood and is very likely to concentrate into a depression during the next 24 hours, the Meteorological Centre here said today.
It was very likely to move north-northwestwards and reach Odisha-north Andhra Pradesh coasts by tomorrow evening.
