Residents of Queensland and New South Wales are advised to prepare for a severe storm that is expected to bring damaging winds and hail to the states. The wild weather is predicted to hit the south-east of Queensland and the northern parts of New South Wales, prompting a storm warning for the upcoming week.
The sudden change in weather comes after a scorching long weekend, as a southerly change is expected to bring heavy rain and thunderstorms to both states. The Bureau of Meteorology has warned that the damaging wind gusts, heavy rainfall, and thunderstorms will affect areas from the mid-north coast of NSW to parts of south-east Queensland, including Brisbane, Toowoomba, and Gympie.
In addition to these hazards, large hailstones are also expected to hit certain parts of Queensland, as the storms are predicted to intensify over the next few days. This has prompted officials to advise caution and take necessary precautions to ensure safety. The potential impact of these storms includes fallen trees or tree limbs, which can pose a threat to public safety and make driving conditions hazardous.
According to the Bureau, a trough is currently moving up the southern and central coast of NSW, and will continue to sweep through these areas on Tuesday afternoon and evening. This is likely to trigger more storms and rainfall in Queensland, which is already experiencing showers and storms in the south-eastern region. The storm activity is expected to continue into Wednesday, before gradually diminishing on Thursday.
As the storm risk subsides, coastal areas of NSW and south-east Queensland are expected to experience mostly coastal showers. However, the Bureau has also issued a strong wind warning for the Moreton Bay and Gold Coast regions, urging residents to stay vigilant and stay updated on the latest weather developments.
