MetService said it's only a "low risk" of becoming a cyclone into Monday next week. That puts it at a 5 to 20% chance.
However, into Tuesday and Wednesday the risk of the low turning into a cyclone increases to moderate, which is a 20 to 50% chance.
"The low is expected to be located between Fiji and Vanuatu around the middle of next week," a MetService spokesperson told 1News.
From there, the weather system could track south eastwards and affect New Zealand later next week moving into the weekend.
