This coming week, we see some "activity" in the Southern regions. A low, B-1, has formed in the SW Bay on Saturday, though weak at 1004 mb. It is expected to move W/NW, and cross South/Central T.N. coast at 1002 mb near Pondicherry, at around 11N. B-1 should cross by Tuesday, though being the first low of the season, its behavoiur needs monitoring. B-1 should then merge in the trough running N/S from Bihar to S.Tamil Nadu. 
Rains, goood amounts, are expected this week especially along the T.N. coast till Wednesday.
