In the meanwhile a lower level off shore trough over West Coast is aiding the cross equatorial moisture flow into Peninsular India bringing high rain possibilities to Coastal Karnataka and Kerala.  Central Kerala & South Karnataka could see another good rainy day. Parts of Telengana & North Karnataka may benefit from wind discontinuity at mid levels which could give heavy spells of rains in one or two places.
