Night and day temperatures may rise slightly across the country. However, due to foggy conditions, cold weather may continue to be felt in many areas, the bulletin added.
Moderate to thick fog may occur in places across the country from midnight to morning and may persist until noon in some areas.
As a result, air navigation, inland river transport and road communication may be temporarily disrupted.
The weather is expected to remain dry with a temporarily partly cloudy sky over the country.
Meanwhile, a ridge of the sub-continental high extends up to West Bengal and adjoining areas, while a seasonal low lies over the South Bay, extending its trough to the northeast Bay.
