Land depression weakens into well-marked low, lying over west

---

The land depression over Barisal division and adjoining Khulna division moved northwestwards, weakened into a well-marked low and is lying over west of Jessore and adjoining area Thursday morning, reports UNB.
It is likely to move in a northwesterly direction further inland and weaken gradually by giving precipitation.
"Steep pressure gradient persists over north Bay and squally weather may continue over the ports," said a special bulletin of the Met Office.
Maritime ports of Chittagong, Cox's Bazar and Mongla have been advised to keep hoisted local cautionary signal number three.
All fishing-boats and trawlers over the North Bay have been advised to remain in shelter until further notice.
