It is likely to become less marked by tomorrow, the September 24. However, its associated cyclonic circulation likely to recurve northeastwards during the next 3-4 days.

Under the influence of the above systems, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy falls very likely over Assam and Meghalaya on September 24; Sub-Himalayan West Bengal & Sikkim; East Uttar Pradesh till September 25 and Bihar on September 26.
