UPDATE 11.20AM: Lismore CBD is preparing now for minor flooding, after previous predictions have been downgraded overnight. Lismore City Council has updated its flood warning from moderate to minor this morning. Heavy rainfall over the Leycester Creek and Wilsons River from Friday to Sunday has caused river level rises at Lismore, which peaked at 2.5 metres around 02:00am this morning, the council posted on social media. The Lismore flood gates remain open on Monday morning, as heavy rainfall continues. There are currently some renewed river rises being observed in the upper tributaries, and further heavy rainfall is forecast for the rest of today.
