Odisha received light to moderate rainfall on Friday under the influence of a low-pressure area (Lopar) over Tamil Nadu, the Met office said, further warning of heavy showers till Sunday morning.

Another depression is likely to form over the Bay of Bengal next week as a cyclonic circulation that lies over the Gulf of Thailand may result in the formation of a fresh Lopar over the south Andaman Sea by Friday, the Bhubaneswar Meteorological Centre said.
