Scattered storms will develop later this afternoon over portions of southern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales. A widespread severe storm outbreak is not expected due to weak upper level winds and questionable instability. However some stronger cells will likely produce heavy, flooding rainfall and gusty winds.
The time frame for severe storm development across the region is between 1-9 pm AEST. Brisbane could be threatened by 3 pm. At this time, the severe threat is expected to remain north and northwest of Sydney and Newcastle.
