Distant Cautionary Signal number-I (DC-I) has been hoisted at Paradip, Gopalpur, Chandbali and Puri ports.
"The current environmental condition and numerical weather prediction models suggest that the system is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm and move initially in a north-westerly direction towards Andhra Pradesh coast."
