The developing weather system is likely to take 48 hours at most for it to become a depression, with the possibility of intensifying into a cyclonic storm soon after, as stipulated in an IMD release. It has also been confirmed by the latest modelling output that the aspect of the cyclone's track remains under observation, with the most likely impact being felt in coastal regions of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Puducherry.
