There are initial minor flood warnings for the Bulloo River and Upper Dawson River catchment and a flood watch for south-west and southern Queensland.

The wet weather is likely to stick around South East Queensland on Friday with more rainfall and thunderstorms expected throughout the day, although possibly less intense than yesterday’s downfall.

The concentration of most of yesterday’s rainfall was north of Brisbane and heading into the Sunshine Coast, according to Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Helen Reid.

The clouds should part just in time for the weekend with Ms Reid saying today should be the last day of soggy weather for the South East.

“By the time we get to tomorrow it will be a much clearer day and it’ll even be cooler in terms of air mass,” she said.
