Several worldwide weather models predict that a low pressure system will develop over the southeast Bay of Bengal around May 10. But there is still ambiguity about its movement and intensity.
The GFS weather model had previously predicted that a low pressure system would likely form over the area. By May 10, the ECMWF model predicted that a low pressure area may emerge close to the coasts of Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka.
Meteorologists stated that it is yet unknown how powerful the system might grow and what path it would finally take after development.
