Severe Storm Targets Parts of Brisbane
Communities in south-east Queensland are bracing for severe storms, with predictions for large hail and damaging winds impacting several areas, including Brisbane.
Severe Storm Warnings for Brisbane
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has issued warnings for severe weather conditions tonight and tomorrow. Key locations expected to be affected are west of Brisbane, and the hinterlands between the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
Potential Impacts
- Large hail
- Damaging winds
- Heavy rainfall up to 50 millimeters in some areas
Senior meteorologist Felim Hanniffy noted that Brisbane may receive heavy rainfall, with some suburbs potentially experiencing up to 20 millimeters. However, certain locations could see significantly lighter precipitation.
Weather Conditions
Meanwhile, temperatures and humidity levels remain high, projected at 30 degrees Celsius or more throughout the upcoming week. These conditions are reminiscent of Far North Queensland, increasing the likelihood of atmospheric instability.
What to Expect
While the risk of severe storms is primarily localized to inland areas, there remains a chance for the system to shift toward coastal zones. Hanniffy emphasized the importance of being prepared for rapid changes in weather.
Residents are advised to stay updated on weather reports and take necessary precautions as the storms develop.
