Weekend weather outlook for Lismore is shaping up for a nice weekend out in the sun, albeit with cooler daytime air temperatures accompanied by a cool North-westerly wind blowing off the ranges.

A cold front is expected to move through the region on the weekend, bringing showers and windy conditions to mostly the ranges. 

Conditions are expected to stabilise Monday and Tuesday as a ridge of high pressure extends over the state following the front.

Locally, Lismore has had cooler than average temperatures due to the cold front passing through on Tuesday and Wednesday.

“With especially clear nights the temperatures have dropped further due to the already present cool daytime air temperatures,” Spokesperson from the Bureau of Meteorology said.

Today, Friday there is a high-pressure area moving west to east and heading offshore. 

The high-pressure trough is over a low-pressure trough which is bringing clouds and medium chance of showers today with a top daytime temperature of between 16-19 degrees. 

Tenterfield has showers and a cold front passing west to east which indicates colder air moving in and will affect Lismore over the weekend.

“Saturday we see daytime temperatures rising again, especially over lower terrain, sunny conditions with a daytime top expected temperature at Lismore 21 degrees.”

No rain is expected in Lismore on Saturday.

As the cold front moves east it will push cold air towards the coast with possible showers, however, Lismore and the coast will remain mostly dry and sunny. 

Sunday, the cold front will be passing west to east over the higher ranges with windy conditions starting and colder W-NW 15-20km/h picking up to around 30 km/h in the morning then easing in the evening. 

Small change in temperatures Monday after the cold front passes, with only slight changes, days will remain sunny but with cooler air temperatures.
