Thursday is expected to see marginally severe thunderstorms near the New South Wales border, including the Gold Coast<\/strong>. However, it is from Friday to Sunday that conditions are likely to worsen, with unstable weather creating the perfect environment for more intense storms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, in particular, could see thunderstorms stretch from Emerald <\/strong>in the north, across the Granite Belt, and down to the southeast coast. While these storms are initially more likely to affect inland areas, there is a possibility that they could reach coastal regions, including Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday\u2019s storms are expected to be particularly fierce, as the environment becomes more conducive to extreme weather. Meteorologists warn that high-end thunderstorms may bring a combination of large hail, damaging wind gusts, and torrential rainfall, all of which pose significant risks to both property and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thunderstorm Activity Eases in Central Queensland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While severe weather is set to intensify in the southeast, the situation in central Queensland <\/a>has already started to ease. Thunderstorms <\/strong>that impacted parts of the region have weakened, although storm activity continues along the Queensland coast, particularly inland of Proserpine. However, the risk of further severe phenomena has subsided across the state, and the severe thunderstorm warning for central Queensland has now been cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports <\/a>from the Bureau of Meteorology earlier in the day showed significant weather activity, including a 7 cm hailstorm in Rockhampton around 6:00 pm, and 4 cm hail reported in Peeramon at approximately 3:30 pm. Rowallan Park recorded 60.0 mm of rain in just 30 minutes, highlighting the intensity of the rainfall in some areas. Smaller hailstones, around 3 cm in diameter, were reported in Malanda at about 3:00 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
