For people in parts of Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders, Central Highlands and Coalfields and Capricornia Forecast Districts.

Issued at 9:47 pm Wednesday, 22 November 2023.
Persistent thunderstorms are resulting in the risk of heavy rainfall.

Weather Situation: A northeasterly airstream continues to feed moisture into Queensland. This moisture combined with several troughs located over the interior will aid thunderstorm development, with isolated severe thunderstorms.

Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding in the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may be affected include Georgetown, Baralaba, Theodore, Moura, Forsayth and Einasleigh.

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services advises that people should:
* Never drive, walk or ride through flood waters. If it's flooded, forget it.
* Seek shelter, preferably indoors and never under trees.
* Avoid using the telephone during a thunderstorm.
* Beware of fallen trees and powerlines.
* For emergency assistance contact the SES on 132 500.
