10:39 Tuesday, 2 January
QLD Severe Weather Warning: Heavy to Intense Rainfall. Maroochydore, Caboolture, Moreton Island, Noosa Heads, Rainbow Beach, Redcliffe

Details:

QLD Severe Weather Warning: Heavy to Intense Rainfall

For people in parts of Wide Bay and Burnett and Southeast Coast Forecast Districts.

Issued at 10:34 am Tuesday, 2 January 2024.
HEAVY TO LOCALLY INTENSE RAINFALL ABOUT PARTS OF THE SOUTHEAST DURING TUESDAY.

Weather Situation: A humid easterly airflow is feeding into a coastal trough near the southeast Queensland coast. This is combining with a strong upper-level trough to produce heavy shower and thunderstorm activity.

HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING is occurring over parts of the South East Coast and far southeastern Wide Bay and Burnett area today. Three to six-hourly rainfall totals between 100 and 200 mm are likely, with isolated 24-hourly totals exceeding 350 mm possible. Localised INTENSE RAINFALL leading to DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING is possible during this period, with six-hourly rainfall totals between 150 and 250 mm possible.

There remains some uncertainty in the movement and timing of features, but the heavy rainfall risk is expected to gradually ease from the south, and is currently expected to ease by late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

A separate Severe Thunderstorm Warning will be issued if very dangerous thunderstorms with intense rainfall are detected.
Heavy rainfall increases the potential for landslides and debris across roads.

A Flood Watch and various Flood Warnings are current for areas in southeast Queensland. Please refer to http://www.bom.gov.au/qld/warnings/

Locations which may be affected include Maroochydore, Caboolture, Moreton Island, Noosa Heads, Rainbow Beach and Redcliffe.

Significant rainfall in the 24hrs to 9:00 am Tuesday:
307 mm at Cedar Creek (SW of Ormeau)
264mm at Carbrook
261 mm at North Tamborine
252 mm at Mount Tamborine
246 mm at Beenleigh

Emergency services advise people to:
* If you have children make sure they are with you or an adult you trust.
* 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.

Breaking News!

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced her resignation, stating that "the time was right" after dedicating nine years to the role.

Emotionally reflecting on her time as premier, she expressed that serving the community was the greatest honor of her life.

Palaszczuk endorsed her deputy, Steven Miles, as the best candidate to succeed her, citing his strength and compassion.

She emphasized her commitment to a smooth transition and declared that she would finish at the end of the week.
