Severe thunderstorms have developed in the southeast

Weather Situation: A humid and unstable airmass is in place over the southeast of the state and a southeasterly wind change is expected to reach the area later in the afternoon. Severe thunderstorms have triggered about the NSW border and are expected to continue throughout the afternoon, expanding to other parts of the southeast and including Brisbane.

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 Boonah, Springbrook, Mount Tamborine and Beaudesert.

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.
