⚠️Large Hail, Damaging Winds, Heavy Rain & Frequent Lightning are all a risks within severe storm cells across SEQLD & CQLD this week!
👉Many people really need some decent rain ASAP but October always brings about a high risk of intense, potentially damaging storms...
⛈️Most of the rain and storm activity between Tuesday & Thursday will be focused in areas south from about Mackay and east from Longreach to Toowoomba - this does not automatically mean you will get rain and storms each day, it will be shifting.
🔴Tomorrow (Tuesday) the first round of patchy rain and possible storms starts inland across the Darling Downs & Granite Belt during the morning and then heads east towards the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Ipswich and Sunshine Coast by around lunch time.
👉Now 3 things could happen because of this early activity due to timing of it. 1 the band slows down and then becomes the main storm line through the coast. 2 It just slowly moves through during the day and generally stays weaker. 3 it clears early enough for heat recovery to produce arvo storms along the coast. Technical forecasting circumstances and we don't have a crystal ball so just keep a close eye on things in these areas tomorrow!
🔴A clearer line of storms tilted from east to west is likely to develop from Charleville, Roma to Kingaroy in the early afternoon which takes off North East into the Wide Bay Burnett, Capricornia and Central Highlands reaching near Emerald to Rocky late.
🔴On Wednesday a south easterly wind change pushes through the South East Coast district during the day. The change is likely to trigger showers and some storms between the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast back inland to the ranges. The main trough line will fire storms from about Gympie, Taroom to Tambo which takes off North East again into the Wide Bay Burnett, Central Highlands and Capricornia. The activity could reach as far north as Moranbah late.
🔴Thursday some showers are possible in the South East. Storms are likely to develop across Central QLD between Mackay and Gladstone back inland to Emerald.
👉So that will really get the storm season kick started in QLD!
