WARNING: Large hail stones and damaging winds
A SEVERE thunderstorm warning has been issued by the Bureau of Meteorology for Warwick, with large hail stones and damaging winds predicted to hit town over the next few hours.
Queensland Fire and Emergency services have advised residents to move cars indoors, secure loose outdoor items, seek shelter and beware fallen trees and powerlines.
Locations that may be affected also include Toowoomba, Brisbane, Dalby, Gympie and Stanthorpe.
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Chris Joseph this morning said Warwick was in for 'unstable' conditions today, after thunder and heavy rainfall this morning.
Mr Joseph said storms were brewing on the southern Queensland border, with Warwick in the zone that could be hit by the activity.
"An upper level trough is in the upper atmosphere, which has led to the conditions," he said.
"It should clear tonight or early tomorrow morning and until then we could see some activity over the next 12 to 24 hours."
Warwick CBD saw 4mm of rain this morning, while the surrounding areas recorded as much as 10-15mm.
Mr Joseph said Warwick could see further falls between 10-20mm over the next day.
"You could have heavier falls if those storms become severe or happen to be in one location if they're slow moving," he said.
The chance of rain is low over the next couple of days, with a 10% chance of fall tomorrow and 20% chance on Wednesday.
