This will come as no surprise to many, but the Bureau of Meteorology has said that flooding is no longer expected in Lismore and the Northern Rivers.

Since 9:00 am Friday, widespread rainfall totals up to 100 mm have been recorded over the Tweed and Wilsons River catchments. This has resulted in river level rises in those catchments. The Northern Rivers catchments are moderately wet after recent rainfall.

Locally, Terania Creek recorded 132mm in the last 24 hours, while Goonengerry had 78mm. Green Pigeon, north of Kyogle, recorded 208.8mm and Mullumbimby 168mm.

Although Lismore's rainfall was light, 18mm in the last 24 hours at the airport and 29mm at Dawson Street, the concern was the rainfall falling in the upper catchment.

The BoM reports that heavy rainfall has eased and light to moderate rainfall is forecast over the Northern Rivers catchments during the next few days. Lismore is now forecast to receive between 6 and 25mm tomorrow (Sunday).

Flooding is no longer expected over the Northern Rivers catchments; however, the Bureau of Meteorology is continuing to monitor the situation and will issue catchment-specific warnings if and when required.

Flooding is no longer expected in the following catchment(s): Tweed and Rous, Brunswick and Marshalls, Wilsons and Richmond
