The bureau has forecast more extreme weather for much of south-east Queensland on Tuesday and warned the potential for very dangerous storm cells could even result in one or two brief and short-lived tornadoes.
Senior forecaster Angus Hines said storms could bring “significant damage” including large hail, wind damage and flash flooding.
