If the storms does move in then Chennai could see moderate / heavy spell of rains. Places to the west of Chennai around XX to XX kms away from coastline may see fresh thunderstorms develop convectively from remnant moisture moving in from East. Like yesterday which saw places like Ponneri / Gummidipoondi get heavy rains there is a chance one or two places around Tiruvallur could see heavy rains today"
