A tropical low pressure system near Vanuatu is under close observation due to its medium likelihood of evolving into a tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours. Currently, the system is generating maximum sustained surface winds ranging from 35 to 45 kilometers per hour (20 to 25 knots).
Recent satellite imagery reveals that the low-level circulation of the system is gradually becoming more organized; however, the convective activity remains somewhat sporadic, particularly in the northern semicircle of the storm.
Meteorological assessments indicate that the environmental conditions surrounding the system are conducive to further development. Forecast models predict that it will continue to move predominantly eastward over the next day while consolidating further.
Though immediate impacts on Fiji are not anticipated, the trajectory of the system is expected to place it just west of the country over the upcoming weekend. This situation will be closely monitored, and residents are encouraged to stay informed about any updates as the system progresses.
