Weather closes school and cancels events

The current weather system has caused the early closure of Lismore South Public School & Ngulliboo Jarjums Preschool and the cancellation of some weekend events.


The Lismore South Public School said on its Facebook page, that they "will now be non-operational for the rest of the school day. Please come and pick up your children. Thank you for your cooperation."



Scott and Daniel at the Lismore Turf Club must feel they are cursed with another important race day cancelled. Ladies Day was set down for this Saturday but is abandoned.


The Lismore Parkrun was to celebrate its 8th anniversary on Saturday morning, this has been postponed to the following weekend.



The NRRRL and Football Far North Coast seasons were to kick off this weekend but may be revised depending on the state of the pitches and ovals.


While the rainfall intensity has a lull with more expected throughout the rest of today and tomorrow, the Bureau of Meteorology has just issued a Flood Watch for a number of River systems down the NSW Coast which includes the Richmond River and Tweed and Rous Rivers for minor flooding.


The Minor Flood Warning for the Wilsons River still remains current. The Wilsons River is currently showing 3.08m at 2:12pm.



Dunoon Road, North Lismore has been added to the list of roads with water over them as has Wyrallah Road at Monaltrie.
