Severe supercells storm, rain, hail threatens southeast Queensland and northern NSW

Detailed summary

Southeast Queensland and northeast NSW face fresh severe thunderstorm dangers after a week of devastating storms.

The chaotic wet weather is contusing its firm grip the country’s east coast as severe thunderstorms continue to wreak havoc on parts of Queensland and northeast NSW.

The weather comes after a week of thunderstorms and continued rain in the region.

Noosa, Brisbane, Byron Bay, and Goondiwindi all have a good chance of seeing a severe thunderstorm, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

These severe supercell thunderstorms could bring giant-sized hail, destructive wind gusts and locally intense rainfall that could lead to flash flooding.

Less severe thunderstorms are also possible across most of Queensland on Monday, except for the southwest.

A low pressure system sitting off the northern parts of the NSW coast is also expected to develop.

“Those showers and storms are expected to redevelop again with that thunderstorm outbreak,” meteorologist Sarah Scully said.

“Now, winds move clockwise around a low, so it’s got the potential to bring this really moisture-laden air, pushing it up onto the coast and up along those windward slopes to bring moderate to potentially heavy rainfall.”

On Sunday night Queensland Ambulance Service responded to flood water-related call-outs in Washpool and Mount Tyson.
