A deep depression over east-central Bay of Bengal, which moved westwards and lay centred about 520 km south-east of Paradip in Odisha on Sunday, is likely to take the shape of a cyclonic storm.
The system would intensify further into a cyclonic storm and move slowly west-north westwards by on Sunday, the meteorological centre here said.
The system is then expected to move west/ west—southwestwards towards South Andhra Pradesh and North Tamil Nadu coasts during next 72 hours.
