The Fiji Met Service says the Lau group in the south of the country remains under threat from Cyclone Mona.
This morning the category one storm, with winds gusting to 120 km/hr, was located about 160 kilometres east of Lakeba, an island in Fiji's Eastern Division.
Mona is forecast to continue to move south in the waters between Fiji and Tonga but senior forecaster Amit Singh said it could still impact some southern islands.
"The gales extend towards the southern Lau group in southern Lau waters," he said.
"This system is expected, for now it is moving more southward, and in the next 12-18 hours it will start take a southwest turn and move over southern Lau waters till tomorrow evening."
The National Disaster Management Office advised the public to continue to take precautionary measures.
