Brewing system in Bay of Bengal to make landfall between Bapatla & Visakhapatnam at a speed of 140kmph

Kolkata, Oct 24 (UNI) The brewing system in the Bay of Bengal is tipped to hit land at a maximum speed of 140 kmph as a severe cyclone in the morning hours of October 28, the weather office said here on Saturday.
The system which turned into a well marked marked low pressure area over Eastcentral and adjoining Southeast Bay of Bengal concentrated into a Depression and lay centered at 5.30 pm hours over the same region about 510 km north-northwest of Sri Vijaya Puram in the Andaman Islands, 820 km east-southeast of Vishakhapatnam, 910 km east-southeast of Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh, 1020 km east of Machilipatnam and 1100 km east of Bapatla in Andhra Pradesh.
According to the Regional Meteorological Centre, the system is very likely to move nearly southwards, intensify into a deep depression and then gradually recurve west-northwestwards over the Eastcentral and adjoining Southeast Bay of Bengal tomorrow.
Gaining momentum, it would continue to move west-northwestwards, and intensify further into a cyclonic storm by October 26 morning. On October 27 the system is anticipated to intensify into a severe cyclonic storm over westcentral Bay of Bengal in the morning hours.
As being predicted by the weather scientists, the approaching cyclone Arnab would keep moving and intensify further into a very severe cyclonic storm and reach Westcentral Bay of Bengal near Andhra Pradesh coast in the morning hours of October 28.
It is then expected to cross Andhra Pradesh and Yanam coasts between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam as a very severe cyclonic storm with the maximum sustained wind speed of 115-125 kmph gusting to 140 kmph by forenoon of October 28.
