"Some rain ahead"

Some detail about the expected "Cyclone over central Bay"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
At present the potential energy for a Cyclone to build is high over central,S-central Bay, that's why models are forecasting a Cyclone !
"IF" a cyclone pops out from the present circulation then "can" take a North movement due to upper-level wind steer and 30W's NW movement.
"At present Wind shear above central Bay is high" .. a Cyclone will get weak or get dismantled if it moves into that zone.
"Present central,N Bay is having a good Sea surface temperature. Above normal at this of year".. which will support the growth of a Cyclone.
First let the circulation become a Cyclone / Depression as suggested by GFS, ECMWF.
Till then "rain ahead" for N,central coast Tamilnadu !
