"It is likely to move northwestwards further and weaken gradually", said a Met office special bulletin.

Sea will remain moderately rough. Maritime ports of Chittagong, Cox's Bazar and Mongla have been advised to keep hoisted local cautionary signal no-3.

All fishing boats and trawlers over north Bay have been advised to remain close to the coast till further notice.
