Isolated severe thunderstorms are developing over southeast Queensland.

Weather situation: Moderate instability is developing over parts of southeast Queensland this afternoon near a surface trough, and this will combine with strong winds in the upper atmosphere to provide a favourable environment for the development of isolated severe thunderstorms the next few hours.

Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce damaging winds and large hailstones in the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may be affected include Kilcoy, Yarraman, Woodford and Imbil.

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.
