Heavy Rains and Hail to Impact Parts of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan This Weekend
The unseasonal rainfall activity expected to soak West-Central India may end up doing so quite thoroughly, as intense showers have been forecast in some parts of the region this weekend. As per the India Meteorological Department (IMD), fairly widespread light to moderate rains, isolated thunderstorms and lightning are likely over Gujarat during the weekend (Nov 25-26) and across Maharashtra, Goa and Madhya Pradesh until Monday (Nov 25-27). And with this wet spell peaking on Sunday, residents of East Rajasthan, Vidarbha, north Madhya Maharashtra, Gujarat region and southwest Madhya Pradesh may see their Sunday (Nov 26) ruined by isolated heavy downpours (64.5 mm-115.5 mm). Further, isolated locations in south Rajasthan, southwest Madhya Pradesh, north Madhya Maharashtra and north Marathwada may also experience hail on Sunday and Monday (Nov 26-27). When raindrops get blown upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere, they freeze up and subsequently fall as hail when the thunderstorm-associated updrafts can no longer support their weight. Given these predictions, the IMD has issued a yellow watch over these subdivisions during this forecast period. The advisory urges the residents to ‘be aware’ of the local weather situation, especially during thunderstorm activity.

Kejriwal skips 'illegal' ED summons, will be in Madhya Pradesh instead
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal will not attend the ED summons on Thursday and will instead be in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh holding a roadshow along with Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann, news agency ANI reported. The confirmation comes from AAP sources cited by news agencies ANI, PTI as Kejriwal shot a scathing letter to ED calling its notice 'illegal' and 'politically motivated'. ED issued the summons notice to Kejriwal on October 30 asking him to be present at the ED headquarters on November 2, 11am. While his party reacted to the summons, Kejriwal did not issue any statement on whether he would attend it or not. A day before, AAP leaders said that they had information that Kejriwal would be arrested. In case of Kejriwal's arrest, the government and the party will run from jail, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said.
