Drivers and people living in the coastal areas from Natadola to Vatukarasa along the Coral Coast on Queens Highway, Kadavu and nearby smaller islands, Moala and Southern Lau are to take precautionary measures as a coastal inundation alert is now in force for these areas.
The Nadi Weather Office says people should expect sea flooding of coastal areas especially during high tides.
People living in Viti Levu, and maritime areas like Yasawa, Mamanuca groups, Kadavu, and nearby smaller islands like Moala and Southern Lau Group should also be vigilant as a heavy rain alert has been issued for these areas.
Localized heavy rain may lead to flash flooding of low lying areas.
A low pressure system is expected to develop to the South of Fiji tomorrow and is expected to generate and direct moderate southerly swells over the group.
Expect localised flooding of susceptible communities, business and low lying areas, localised flooding of minor roads, Irish crossings and bridges with some disruption to traffic flow.
There will be poor visibility at land and sea with increased risk of motor vehicle accidents due to slippery roads.
