AS-1 located at 12.30 pm IST on Friday at 18.6N and 70.7E. and pressure at 1000 mb.This means a slight movement due East in the last 6 hrs, and a shade weaker.

IMD still maintains it as a "well marked Low".

Now, the parameters I consider for its track show an initial NW track, at least that is what one of the components, the 200 jet streams, indicate. One should also bear in mind, that an NW direction of these jet streams at this time is not very unusual, it normally should be West.
