Some good news for the people of Fiji as Tropical Cyclone Tomas is now weakening although it is still a Category 4 system.
The Nadi Weather Office Director Rajendra Prasad said the gale warning for Viti Levu is now lifted and only a strong wind warning remains in place.
He said Viti Levu has been given the all clear in terms of any damaging winds.
However, Vanua Levu and parts of Northern Lau are still experiencing damaging winds and this is expected to change by midnight tonight.
Tomas is currently located in the Lau Group and is moving towards Ono-i-Lau.
A hurricane warning remains in force for Ono-i-Lau, Vatoa and nearby smaller islands.
The centre of the cyclone was located about 240 kilometers North North West of Ono-i-Lau or 235 kilometers East South East of Suva at 1pm today.
It is now moving at 20 kilometers per hour.
However, people need to be mindful of high and very rough seas which could result in flooding of coastal areas.
