The low pressure area in the southeast Bay of Bengal could concentrate into a depression during the next 24 hours. Rain is expected to occur in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand during the next two to three days. During the same period, there are chances of rain in northwest plains including capital New Delhi. Rain will continue to occur in east and northeast India as well as south India during the next 48 hours.

The formation of a depression in the Bay of Bengal could take another 24 hours. Gradually, the concentration could become a deep-depression after these 24 hours.  In the last 24 hours, the depression has shifted a bit towards east and that is a significant development for Tamil Nadu and Andhra coast as this movement means that these states would not bear the brunt of this weather system.

A fresh Western Disturbance spells rainfall for Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand during the next two to three days. The Western Disturbance currently lies over north Pakistan with an associated cyclonic circulation over central Pakistan and adjoining west Rajasthan. Under the aegis of this weather system, dust storm/thunder-storm is a possibility in northwest Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana and Delhi during the next 72 hours.

Rain is expected to continue in east and northeast India owing to a low pressure area that runs from east Uttar Pradesh to Assam. Under its influence, rain will occur at one or two places in Bihar and Jharkhand and at many places over sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim during the next two days.
Northeast, which has seen rainy weather for past few days, will continue with such conditions and there are chances of heavy rain at one or two places during the next two to three days.

A similar low pressure area runs from the east Uttar Pradesh to south interior Karnataka across east Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha and Marathwada. Due to this weather system one or two places in Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and a few places in Kerala and south Karnataka could receive rain.
