As mentioned in our weather story earlier this morning, rain is returning for the weekend. How much and where will depend on luck.
The Bureau of Meteorology is still forecasting 4mm to 30mm for Saturday and 2mm to 15mm for Sunday with southeasterly winds. The chance of rain is very high at 90%.
Not a perfect way to start the school holidays, which kicked off at 3 o'clock today.
Youth Week continues over the weekend and next week with plenty of activites for young people to try. They include:

Rain, hail, or sunshine, the Lismore Farmers Markets will be on at the Lismore Showgrounds from 7:30 a.m. It may be best to take an umbrella and wear gumboots as you have a coof, some breakfast, and shop for homegrown fresh fruit and vegetables. Bruce Worrall will perform live music this week.
The other market on this weekend is in the hills.
This Sunday, The monthly Channon Craft Market at Coronation Park comes alive once again with creativity, community, and colour. From handcrafted treasures to delicious eats and live tunes, there's something for everyone from 9am to 3pm.
With Easter and the school holidays in April, May and June are when the major events kick in, so make a note for:
If you are keen to see some live music, the Hilbilly Skanks will rock the Northern Rivers Hotel tonight from 6:30pm with folk/bluegrass music. Hello Ray Duo is in stage Saturday night from 7:30pm and the Sunday Session is Chris Fisher from 3pm.
The Lismore Workers Club has a host of acts to see in May and June; they include:
