Under its influence, a deep convection is taking place over the north Bay.
"Squally weather may continue to affect the maritime ports and the coastal regions of Bangladesh," the bulletin said.
Chittagong, Cox's Bazar and Mongla seaports have been advised to keep hoisted local cautionary signal number three.
All fishing boats and trawlers over the north Bay have been advised to take shelter "immediately."
