It was mentioned by Chennai weather blogger Mr. Pradeep John that the depression in the bay would move towards north and be caught by westerly trough and would proceed towards west Bengal or Bangladesh coast. .The depression has been dragged away from the AP coast due to West Bengal/ Bangladesh due to the westerly trough dipping from the north. Intense thunderstorms plus rains would be there due to dry northerlies that would meet with westerlies.
