The well marked low pressure now positioned, almost stationary since last report, at 17.4N and 71.9E, some 180 kms SW of Mumbai.
Likely to move NW and become a depression.

As Emkay points out, this remnant system pured heavy rains resulting in landslides near Karwar. BTW Karwar recorded 207 mms, Canacona 160 mms, Harnai 82 mms and Panjim 67 mms of rain in 24 hrs up to 8.30 today morning.

Mumbai existing forecast posted on Monday remains valid.

hi rajesh jst wanted to know how much rain can panvel receive from the remnants of jal?

I think for Panvel,I would hold on to the Mumbai forecast that has been put up on the Mumbai Weather page.
Panvel should also get around 5-10 mms of rain as Mumbai.

Junaid, thanks for the kind words and encouragement.
I'm no expert, but, like i mentioned a few blogs back, normally thunder clouds from the matheran/lonavala region tend to drift east. and many a times precipitate over the panvel area, being very close.
and for the direction, this depression will not cross the west coast, nor Mumbai.
An UAC over saurashtra is forming to welcome the system !
