Heavy rains are likely over Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra today. This is due to the Cyclonic Circulation which persists over Madhya Pradesh and adjoining Chhattisgarh. The shear zone is also running along Maharashtra. The circulation will persist for the next 24 hours and then shift eastwards.
We can expect these heavy rains to continue for the next 24 hours over these states. Thereafter, rains will be more concentrated over parts of West and North Madhya Pradesh Bhopal, Indore, Khandwa, Gwalior, Guna, Ashoknagar more than Jabalpur, Sagar, Satna etc.
