At around 5:30 am, the tropical disturbance entered the southeast Bay of Bengal and the system is currently 1419 km away from Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) and around 1442 km away from Gopalpur in Odisha. It is moving at a speed of 35 km/hr.

According to the IMD-GFS model, the cyclone is likely to make landfall between Srikakulam district in Andhra Pradesh and Puri district in Odisha. The system will then curve along the Odisha coastline to move into West Bengal after the landfall.

The ECMWF, ACCESS-G3 and INCOIS have also made similar predictions.

As a result, the coastal and north Odisha districts are likely to experience a sustained wind speed of around 40kmph till December 5 (Sunday) morning. Extremely heavy rain is expected to lash the districts between Gajapati to Puri.

According to senior meteorologist Jason Nicholls, the low pressure near the Andaman Islands will become a cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal in the next couple of days. The storm will spread heavy rain, risk of flooding and gusty winds from the north coast of Andhra Pradesh to Odisha, WestBengal and Bangladesh later Friday through Sunday.
