A low-pressure system that lies to the far North of Fiji is expected to gradually intensify while tracking south towards the group and entering Fiji waters tomorrow, possibly as a tropical disturbance.
The Nadi Weather Office says the associated active trough and strong to near gale force winds are expected to affect parts of the country from later today.
A Strong Wind Warning remains in force for the land areas of the Northern Division, Northeastern parts of Viti Levu (from Tailevu North through Rakiraki up to Tavua), Yasawa, Mamanuca, Lau and Lomaiviti groups.
A Heavy Rain Alert remains in force for the Northern Division, Yasawa and Northern Lau group.
The Weather Office is keeping a lookout for the system but people need to be prepared for continuous heavy rain and strong winds.
Weather Office Director Misaele Funaki is calling on the people to continue to listen to the weather updates on the radio as we are still in the cyclone season.
Localised heavy rain may lead to flash flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas.
