UPDATE 3.30pm: The rain total continues to skyrocket in Warwick with 29.4mm falling since 1.30pm.

The Rose City was quickly drenched when rain clouds rolled over earlier this afternoon, with 20mm falling between 1.30pm and 2.30pm.

Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Lauren Pattie said the showers were likely to continue into the evening.

"Showery storm activity is expected to continue into the evening, you could get some more but that could be the only one," Ms Pattie said.

Ms Pattie said weather warnings were issued in cases of heavy rainfall.

"There is a chance of seeing some severe storms around the district but we would monitor into the evening and issue as required," she said.

There is a continuing chance of thunderstorms into tomorrow with between 5-15mm of rain predicted.

Ms Pattie said the rain was likely to clear on Wednesday.

INITIAL 1.30pm: Dark clouds above Warwick right now have begun to open up and have the potential to drop a decent amount of rain.

Bureau of Meterology meteorologist Lauren Pattie said storms were forming south-east of Warwick, which was likely to bring storm activity and "good rainfall" to the city this afternoon.

"On the lower end it could about 5mm but more likely you might see 30-odd millimetres but particularly with the more significant ones you could see more like 50mm," Ms Pattie said.

Ms Pattie said there was a chance of seeing some thunderstorms this afternoon before clearing on Wednesday.

"We have an upper trough in the area and it's quite a moist environment and because of that upper trough we're seeing quite a bit of cloud and rainfall."

A monsoon is moving through northern Australia later this week, but Ms Pattie said the rainfall would be contained to the tropical areas.
