The yellow alert has been issued for Bargarh, Sambalpur, Jharsuguda, Sundargarh, Devgarh, Angul, Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Baleswar, Bhadrak, Kendrapada, Jagatsinghpur and Jajpur districts.
A yellow alert for heavy rain (70 to 110 mm) has been issued for four districts on Friday.
The weather office has further said that several areas of the state will continue to receive moderate to heavy rainfall during the next two days under the influence of the active southwest monsoon. At the same time, the intensity of rainfall activity in Odisha is likely to decrease from September 9 onwards.
