The depression crossed north Orissa coast late on Wednesday night and lay centred near Chandbali on Thursday morning with its influence extending up to Andhra Pradesh. As a result, heavy rain is likely over the districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, east and west Godavari, Khammam, Karimnagar and Adilabad on Friday.
