Now, repeating the term used in Vagaries, while tracking North along the coast, the cyclone will "skirt" the Oman coast, and weaken rapidly.
As per our estimate, some rainfall occurred Malakand, Karachi, Makran division
of Sindh on Tuesday night and Wednesday.Gawadar got 3 mms and Karachi traces.
Rain will occur along the coast, with Karachi getting some showers on Wednesday night and Thursday.

AS-3 has formed in the Southern Arabian Sea (bang on target date: 2nd November). At 1006mb, it will deepen and initially move North.
