Severe storms are expected to hit southeast Queensland with the possibility of damaging winds, heavy hail and heavy rain on Tuesday, Bureau of Meteorology predicts
« Brisbane has the potential to receive six to 20 millimeters of rain with likely a risk of a late morning, afternoon and evening thunderstorm, » she said. / p>
« Places that will be directly under the thunderstorm will normally experience the most precipitation, but in general the northern Sunshine Coast and the Wide Bay area have a good chance of receiving higher totals

« With any thunderstorm development and severe storms are very isolated, so it is very possible for a township to see storm activity, but their neighbors down the road might be missing »
« This is a low pressure surface trough that trails over the east coast, combined with a trough in the upper atmosphere that creates a dynamic environment for storm development, » she said.
Ms Hoff said more severe storms are expected to follow with showers on Wednesday, while Brisbane is expected to see between 10 and 35 millimeters
« But the storms are really going to subside on Thursday with drier conditions coming from other states, » she said
« Saturday will have a bit of luck with a thunderstorm but light but it is not very convincing and Sunday will bring partly cloudy conditions at the end of the week »
