Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Adam Blazak said the storms were not as severe by the time they reached Warwick.

"It was getting later in the evening so they lose some energy from the heating of the ground and that assists with producing hail," he said.

Mr Blazak said further storms could form today, but they were likely to hit Toowoomba and further north towards Kingaroy.

"The storms that form today may be a little more on the severe side so probably not too bad to miss out on them," he said.

A south-easterly change has now reached Warwick, which Mr Blazak said would bring cooler conditions.

"It's a south-easterly flow generated by a large high pressure system from Tasmania and that'll hang around for the rest of the working week and into the start of the weekend," he said.

There is a chance of the odd shower today and tomorrow.

Temperatures will be lower than average for November, which usually sees maximum temperatures of 28 degrees.

Today Warwick is expected to reach a top of 27, while tomorrow and Thursday have been predicted to see a maximum temperature of 23.
