Large hail, severe storms to batter state
Queenslanders should prepare themselves for more wet weather, with severe thunderstorms involving heavy rainfall, damaging winds and large hail predicted to hit parts of the state on Thursday.
A flood watch warning is in place across northern Peninsula catchments, with heavy rainfall forecast across the northern Peninsula and Torres Strait for the next few days.
A Bureau of Meteorology spokesperson said the rainfall may lead to “localised flash flooding along with renewed river rises given the saturated conditions in the area.”
“These conditions are expected to occur with a tropical low (15U) that is forecast to move westwards across the Northern Cape and Torres Strait during Thursday and into Friday,” the spokesperson said.
“This system should track over northern Gulf of Carpentaria waters or towards the Arafura Sea over the weekend.”
The spokesperson said there was a moderate – 20-30 per cent – chance it would develop into a tropical cyclone.
