Predictably, this Valentine's Day weekend is all about the weather rather than what is on in and around the Lismore LGA.

About 24mm has fallen at the Lismore Airport in the last 24 hours, which is a good result given it could have been so much worse.

The NSW SES is suggesting people STAY INFORMED about the predicted minor flooding for the Wilsons River.

The BoM are forecasting 2-20mm for Saturday and a further 10-45mm on Sunday, before conditions ease to a shower or two for Monday.

You can easily stay up to date with the BoM forecasts and warnings through the Lismore App Weather & Travel.

The Lismore Farmers Markets are asking you to bring a brolly and gumboots when the gates open at 7:30am at the Lismore Showgrounds tomorrow.

There will be lots of fresh fruit and veg, plus coffee, tea and breakfast, with live music from Croaker & the Honeybee.

The Sunday Bowlo Markets have been cancelled thanks to the rainfall forecast for Sunday.

The Lismore Free Markets at the Lismore Community Garden have been postponed one week for February, so will now take place next Sunday, February 22.

As it is more of an indoor weekend, you can take the family roller skating at Rollerworld in North Lismore or catch a movie at the newly reopened Lismore Cinemas.

BAREFOOT BOWLS

Wednesday's weather is sunny and 30 degrees, so if you haven't, grab a team of four people, call Sharon on 0416 282 247, and book a team in for the second night of the All In The Same Boat Barefoot Bowls Challenge.

A fun night was had by all, including the winning Lismore App team, last Wednesday. As Lismore continues to rebuild, it is a good time to get together and for business owners, managers and staff to have a chat and a laugh, and hopefully, roll a few good bowls down the green.
