Here it comes #Brisbane! Some signs indicate a gap could form in this line as it nears the #SEQld coast, so we're not guaranteed to get a storm, but if it does hit it will be gusty with possible large hail (> 2cm) in an hour or so. #QldStorm

[Bureau of Meteorology, Queensland @BOM_Qld]

⚠️ WARNING continues for gusty storms moving into #SEQld now. Some large hail in cells on the Downs and Granite Belt. Keep an eye on the radar this arvo! #QldStorm https://t.co/JwfeKaqb0P
