Isolated to locally scattered severe thunderstorms developing
across parts of the southeast this afternoon
Weather Situation: A trough extends over the southeast inland of
Queensland with a warm, humid and very unstable airmass on its
eastern side. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop east
of this trough during the afternoon and evening. Moderately strong
winds in the upper atmosphere will promote some organised severe
thunderstorms over southeast of Queensland.
Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce damaging winds, large
hailstones and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding in
the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may
be affected include Warwick, Dalby, Emerald, Blackwater, Lowood and
Nanango.
Emergency services advise people to:
* Park your car undercover away from trees.
* Close doors and windows.
* Keep asthma medications close by. Storms and wind can trigger
asthma attacks.
* Charge mobile phones and power banks in case the power goes
out.
* Put your pets somewhere safe and make sure they can be
identified in case they get lost.
* Do not drive now unless you have to because conditions are
dangerous.
* Tell friends, family and neighbours in the area.
* Go inside a strong building now. Stay inside until the storm has
passed.
