Synoptic situation as on Thursday:

The monsoon axis slides south, specially the eastern end. The eastern end of the axis passes thru the low off the North AP coast. 
However, the westernend is tilted Northwards in the Sindh region of Pakistan. It runs from Sindh thru Kota (Rajasthan) and thru Sagar (MP) and into the low.

Now, we have a double dose of systems. 
Exactly above the sea level low is an UAC at 850 hpa, and the trough aloft at 850hpa runs from the low westwards thru Southern MP and Northern Mah. 
Finally it runs into an fresh UAC at 700 hpa, formed Thursday evening off the North Mah coast. 

A multiple swift trough formation is seen as very benficial to the Northern Mah and Northern Marathwada regions. Aurangabad recorded 78 mms of rain till 5.30 pm Thursday. The Interiors of Northern Mah were also receiving very good rainfall Thursday...posted @ 8.40pm.

The western end continues to precipitate thundershowers in Sindh, and Karachi finally gets its first showers of the monsoon. A fresh thunderstorm lashed Karachi in the evning again. Rain measured is 12 mms....


x-------------------------x-----------------------------------------x-----------------------x--------------------x
Latest : A low has formed in the Bay off the East coast at 19N. (Was estimated only by Vagaries about a week back).
Also expecting an UAC (and maybe a low) in the trough off the west coast soon...
3 day forecast and details tonite...posted @3.30pm Thursday

x---------------------x---------------------x------------------------x---------------------------------x
The UAC in the Bay off AP coast could descend as a sea level low today (Thursday). Vagaries shall number it once it descends. 
There is a likely hood of an UAC forming in the west coast trough...posted @9.00am Thursday

The western end of the axis has shifted towards the Central Sindh (Pakistan ) region, but weakened since yesterday. Possibility of thundershowers still on in pockets of southern and central Sindh.
