I am still seeing messages where people are asking whether it would rain as it is being "hyped". Please note that if it doesn't happen we would be the happiest.

But unfortunately - the blogging community on the whole is of the same opinion that there would be heavy rains
Not only Chennai

#Kanchipuram #Chengalpattu #Kallakurichi #Villupuram #Cuddalore #Nagapattinam #Karaikkal #Pondicherry #Ranipet #Thiruvallur #Vellore and even #Krishnagiri should be on high alert as the system is expected to move inland
Take care of your near and dear ones, charge your phones and power banks as quickly as possible and move to safe places.

Remember one thing- this is as extraordinary a situation as #ChennaiFloods 2015

#Rains will continue till tomorrow afternoon post which it will reduce
This system - 80% - will cross land as a deep depression. Models are suggesting that it would cross right through #Chennai . In that case, Southern #AndhraPradesh would also receive good rainfall owing to outer bands.

20% chances still exists for this to become a #cyclone
And most importantly- do not venture out and stay home. A humble request to all the private companies would be to encourage people to work from home or if not provide a day leave. And this would save many from getting stranded.
Keep your vehicles in high-rise areas - and thereby you can avoid any damage. There are reports of water contamination and related infections. So boil the water and drink. Have your essentials - rice, biscuits etc.
I think I have covered all aspects of a disaster. Humble request again- stay safe wherever you are. We will get through this.👍

91B is gradually intensifying and rainfall will gradually increase over the course of the day.

Whatever warnings that were given still hold good.

Avoid venturing out.

#Nellore to #Karaikkal coast to be on high alert as the system is consolidating and the cloud bands are getting organized- slowly and steadily.

This would mean that rains will be more as the system nears the coast
Many asked me that there is not as much rainfall as anticipated. This would be primarily because the system is getting organized slowly and building a strong convective outer band. You can clearly see in the below image

Now that the #rain has stopped for a while in #Chennai, it is time that we get to know what we can expect this week.

1. A Low-pressure area will likely form in the next 2 days in the Southeast #BayofBengal region.

2. Owing to favourable conditions this will further intensify.
3. Preliminary analysis suggests that this system will likely intensify as deep depression and would move towards Coastal #TamilNadu

4. Possibility of this system intensifying into a cyclone exists. Which means a named #cyclone is a possibility
5. Assuming that it becomes a named cyclone, this would be named "#Jawad" named by #SaudiArabia

6. The track that it is likely to take is that it will climb up Northwest - intensify near the coast and move lateral west in between #Chennai and #Pondicherry
