Sri Lanka, Nov. 14 -- The low-pressure area currently prevailing in the southeast Bay of Bengal sea area is highly likely to develop into a depression tomorrow, according to the Department of Meteorology.

The system is further forecasted by the department to intensify into a cyclonic storm by the upcoming 16th.

Issuing a red warning, the Department of Meteorology advises fishing and naval communities to refrain from engaging in activities within that sea area, as well as the offshore sea areas extending from Kankesanthurai to Hambantota via Trincomalee and Pottuvil, until further notice.
