EXPECT MEAN MAXIMUM WINDS TO 45 KNOTS WITH MAXIMUM GUSTS TO 65 KNOTS NEAR THE CENTRE.
THE CYCLONE IS MOVING SLOWLY SOUTHWARD AT 01 KNOT (ALMOST STATIONARY) AND INTENSIFYING.

GALE FORECE WINDS OF 34 TO 47KNOTS SHOULD CONTINUE ABOUT THE MALAITA, ISABEL, WESTERN, CENTRAL AND GUADALCANAL PROVINCES TODAY AND POSSIBLY PERSIST INTO THURSDAY.
STORM FORCE WINDS 0F 48 TO 63 KNOTS COULD OCCUR ABOUT PARTS OF THE ISABEL AND WESTERN PROVINCES BY LATER TODAY OR EARLY FRIDAY MORNING, DEPENDING ON THE MOVEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM. HEAVY RAIN, WHICH COULD LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING AND/OR LANDSLIDES, SHOULD CONTINUE OCCUR OVER THESE PROVINCES TODAY AND POSSIBLY PERSIST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

SEAS WILL BE VERY ROUGH WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY SWELLS WITH POTENTIAL FOR COASTAL FLOODING.

PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES AS BAD WEATHER ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL CYCLONE POSES THREATS TO LIVES AND PROPERTIES.

PLEASE LISTEN TO ALL RADIO OUTLETS FOR FURTHER ADVICES.

THE NEXT ADVICE WILL BE ISSUED AT 1:30 PM THIS AFTERNOON.
