More storms forecast for south-east Queensland and north-east New South Wales, bringing heavy rainfall and risk of flash flooding

ABC  

Widespread storms are forecast for much of central and eastern Australia after south-east Queenslanders were treated to a spectacular lightning display last night. The Bureau of Meteorology is warning severe storms are likely in south-east Queensland and north-east New South Wales, and possible for Western Australia's interior, south-west parts of the Northern Territory and large parts of South Australia. Last night a storm ended days of heat in south-east Queensland, with BOM senior meteorologist Pieter Claassen saying the chances of more severe weather would last until later this week. "We do see the storm risk continue mid-to-late this week, but the heavy rainfall should drop off by Wednesday, so it could be a few more days of quite wet weather," senior meteorologist Pieter Claassen said.
