According to the Bureau of Meteorology, both the Wilsons and Richmond Rivers are expected to reach minor flood levels this morning.

While every other gauge has been updated this morning, the last reading for the Wilsons River at Lismore was at 5:18am, which was 3.93m. The minor flood level is 4.2m.

The Richmond River at Coraki was 3.28m at 8:30am, just under the minor level of 3.4m.

Moderate rainfall has been recorded in the Wilsons catchment since Thursday. This has caused river and creek level rises along the Wilsons River, with minor flooding likely at Lismore Saturday morning.

Lismore recorded a further 31mm to 9am today, following 42.8mm to 9am Friday and 42.6mm to 9am on Thursday.

Other falls in the upper catchments include Mullumbimby, 119mm; Upper Burringbar, 127mm; Terania Creek, 62mm; the Channon, 84mm; and Dunoon, 95mm.

The Bureau sau further rainfall is forecast across the Wilsons catchment during Saturday. This is likely to result in further river and creek level rises along the Wilsons River.

The Wilsons River may reach 4.5m on Saturday, with further rises possible.

The Richmond River at Coraki may reach around 4.1m on Saturday afternoon, with further rises possible. Bungawalbyn is also expected to exceed the minor flood level of 3m this morning and may rise to 3.3m this afternoon with further rises possible depending on rainfall.
