The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a renewed Minor Flood Warning for the Wilsons River during Thursday.

Although the forecast heavy falls have not eventuated in Lismore to this point, the catchments have recorded 28mm in Goonengerry and 25mm at Repentance.

Rainfall for the remainder of Wednesday into Thursday may cause renewed river level rises across the Wilsons catchment, following an initial peak during Tuesday.

Depending on where the heaviest falls occur, river levels may reach near the minor flood level during Thursday, with forecast rainfall.

This situation is being closely monitored, and warnings will be updated as necessary.

A Flood Watch is current for parts of the Northern Rivers and Mid North Coast of New South Wales.
