A flash flood warning is now in force for northern Viti Levu from Tavua to Ra while a flash flood alert remains in force for the rest of Fiji.
The Nadi Weather Office says Tropical Depression TD03F lies to the northwest of Yasawa-i-Rara and is expected to pass just to the north of Fiji.
The associated trough of low pressure, with rain, is expected to affect parts of the group until later Friday.
Meanwhile, one lane of the Kings Highway at Vunitogoloa in Rakiraki, heading towards Tavua, is open to traffic due to flooding.
A Rakiraki resident says heavy rain over the past hour caused the road to flood, but as the tide recedes, the floodwater is going down.
