Isolated heavy rainfall with thunderstorms remains possible over the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

Weather Situation: A trough moving across southeast Queensland this afternoon is triggering severe thunderstorms, aided by a weak upper trough.

Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce localised heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding in the warning area over the next hour or two. Locations which may be affected include Cooroy and Nambour.

Severe thunderstorms are no longer occurring in the Central Highlands and Coalfields, Wide Bay and Burnett, Maranoa and Warrego and Darling Downs and Granite Belt districts and the warning for these districts is CANCELLED.

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.
