However, the department has forecasts a cloudy weather in most parts of the state for another one to two days.
According to IMD, next three to four hours are crucial and needs vigilance. The latest radar image indicates cloud patch over entire Raigad, Mumbai, parts of Thane and Palghar, Nashik. It is expected that the rain would continue in these areas along with those ghat areas of Pune. Presently, the intensity of rainfall is heavy at Colaba, Panvel and Alibaug.
