Another well-marked low-pressure area that developed over the Bay of Bengal has now weakened into a low-pressure area, and is now over south interior Karnataka and neighbourhood on Thursday. The system is likely to move further and emerge over the east-central and adjoining southeast Arabian Sea during the next 24 hours, according to a weather bulletin issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday.
