An official from the Regional Meteorological Centre spoke to the press and said, Low pressure is expected to develop into a depression during the subsequent 48 hours over the same area.
A well known independent weather blogger said, The low pressure area is located approximately 500 km southeast of Colombo. This is likely to become well marked low pressure area in 24 hours and further expected to concentrate as depression. This system is expected to track towards west-north western direction and will come closer to Tamil Nadu coastal areas in 48 hours. Under this influence, medium to rather heavy rain is expected to lash over many parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala on Sunday. The southern parts of Tamil Nadu such as Kanyakumari and Rameswaram might experience heavy rain on Sunday. Chennai and northern districts may get heavy rain on Monday.
