Damaging wind gusts expected associated with line of thunderstorms over the southern Warrego and Maranoa into far western Darling Downs.

Weather Situation: An unstable airmass east of a surface trough over southwestern Queensland will support a line of severe thunderstorms moving eastwards over the southern Warrego into the far western Darling Downs for the next hour or two.

Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce damaging winds in the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may be affected include St George, Mungindi and Dirranbandi.

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.
