The weather forecast has changed, but only slightly, as more clouds roll in from the west before a southerly change on Sunday afternoon will bring a few showers.

Partly cloudy and a top of 19 degrees is the forecast for the 2024 Lismore Lantern Parade tomorrow (Saturday), while Sunday's forecast is for a shower or two with a cool 17 degrees as the maximum temperature.

It may not be the totally clear skies that Jyllie Jackson and her team were wishing for the 2024 Lismore Lantern Parade, but it is certainly not going to worry them overly as preparations continue.
