Storms on the way for SE QLD!

Spring is almost here and we're already getting a taste of the type of weather it brings in southeast QLD- afternoon storms!!

This afternoon we'll see showers and storms developing in QLD anywhere east of the Northern Goldfields and Maranoa and Warrego districts, including Southeast QLD. The atmosphere is unstable and these storms have the potential to be severe with flash flooding and isolated falls of around 50mm, as well as large hailstones and damaging winds.

Last night, storms swept through parts of QLD bringing the heaviest falls to the Central Coast and Capricornia districts (Bingebang Weir 91mm, Mt Christian 80mm, St Lawrence 51mm, Prospect Creek 43mm), with around 10-20mm in parts of Maranoa and Warrego and Darling Downs (Toowoomba Ap 18mm, Yuleba 19mm, Dalby 12mm). This afternoon, the Southeast Coast will also come into play with Brisbane likely to be affected.
