Thunderstorms along with lightning are also likely to occur in isolated places in ten divisions of the state, including Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, Chambal and Jabalpur. "A monsoon trough was passing through Tikamgarh. Besides, a low pressure area was lying over east Rajasthan, which has brought moisture to MP. A low pressure area is expected to form over central Bay of Bengal in the next 24 hours and this too would bring rains to the state," he explained.
