The Fiji Meteorological Service in its latest bulletin said the associated cloud and rain continues to affect the Northern Division and Northern Lau Group and cloudy periods with some showers are expected over these areas till later tomorrow after which rain is expected to develop from Sunday.

Localised heavy falls may lead to flash flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas, minor roads and iris crossing with some disruption to traffic flow and poor visibility.

There is a possibility of breaks in between the rain bands with condition improving from later Tuesday next week.

Meanwhile, a strong wind warning remains in force for land areas of Taveuni and nearby smaller islands, southern Bua, Yasawa, Kadavu and nearby smaller islands, Lomaiviti and Lau group while a strong wind warning remains in force for all Fiji waters.
