Nearly half dozen bay lows have already impacted Central India but with some weakened intensity and direction not exactly passing along the Maharashtra-Madhya pradesh border.

The low pressure is of 996mb and presently situated over West Bengal is expected to travel through Central India with its centre moving through central MP.

However due to increase in the moisture,it is expected that the low pressure will cause heavy rains and flooding probabilities across many areas in central india
