Isolated thunderstorms are also likely in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
The IMD said a surface circulation entering the North Andaman Sea may cause a low pressure over the southeast and adjoining east-central Bay of Bengal by Friday. The system may move northwest and strengthen further over the next three days.
