This will be the fourth low pressure area in quick succession to affect the weather over Tamil Nadu including Chennai. According to Skymet Weather, a trough of low is seen over Malay Peninsula and adjoining areas.
Cloud configuration and atmospheric conditions are indicating that the system is likely to get more marked and induce a low pressure area over south Andaman Sea and neighbourhood during next 48 hours.

Unlike the last low pressure area which moved towards South Tamil Nadu, this system would most likely would head towards North Tamil Nadu. As per weathermen, the system is likely to move in west-northwest direction towards North Tamil Nadu and South Andhra Pradesh coast around November 29.
