The forecast for the Fiji group predicts occasional rain, heavy at times, with a few thunderstorms developing from later tomorrow.
The Weather Office warns that possible impacts include flash flooding in flood-prone, low-lying informal settlements, communities, businesses and Irish crossings, which may lead to traffic disruptions.
They add that surface flooding on streets is possible due to poor drainage.
