SE Queensland Extreme short term and long term Weather Forecast for Bribie Island, Moreton Bay, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast regions.

This is a severe weather warning for the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay areas for tomorrow(05/02/2020).  Further updates will be provided as to the progress of this extreme weather event.

Extremely heavy rainfall is forecast for the next 3 days over the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Gold Coast areas. Falls of over 400mm + are possible, which will lead to flash flooding and inundation of areas susceptible to flooding.

A strong coastal surface trough will be situated on the Sunshine Coast and just north of Brisbane early tomorrow morning and will interact with moist SE winds and an upper low to the west.  This combination will produce extremely heavy to torrential rainfall to the north of Brisbane then extend down the coast as the day progresses.  Please be prepared for any possible flooding that may occur.

QLD Flood Watch: South of Maryborough to the Nsw Border and Southern Inland Catchments

Issued at 3:02 pm EST on Tuesday 4 February 2020

Flood Watch Number: 1

Minor flooding is possible from Thursday across parts of the Flood Watch area.

South east coastal catchments: Showers, thunderstorms and rain areas are expected from Wednesday afternoon through to Thursday afternoon. Locally heavy falls are likely, especially close to the coast and ranges of the Sunshine Coast.

The weather will remain very unsettled towards the end of the week and into next week, with further significant rainfall possible over parts of the Flood Watch area.
