It is likely to move northwest towards north Tamil Nadu and south Coastal Andhra Pradesh coast.
Numerical weather models are indicating that conditions are favourable for the system to intensify into a cyclonic storm and impact north TN around December 15-16.Weather blogger Pradeep John said sea surface temperature, tropical cyclone heat potential and wind sheer, are perfectly placed for intensification of the system. “By and large, there is consensus among the weather models on cyclone formation around December 15-16. There will be lot more clarity in next 2-3 days,” he said.
