Thunderstorm lashes south-east Queensland, still reeling from earlier storm

A severe thunderstorm warning is in place for parts of Queensland's southeast.

Residents in the Ipswich, Scenic Rim, Lockyer Valley and parts of the Logan, Somerset, Southern Downs and South Burnett areas will be impacted, the Bureau of Meteorology said.

"Damaging winds, heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding, and large hailstones are likely," the bureau says in a statement.

Severe thunderstorms have been detected near Gatton and Lake Boondooma on Monday afternoon and are moving in an east-southeast direction.

They are later forecast to hit Laidley, Rosevale, Grandchester, Boonah, the area between Boonah and Beaudesert and the area northwest of Kingaroy.

Forecasters have said the storms won't be anything like the softball sized hail produced by the super cell storm that hit Brisbane late last month, but there was also a high chance of rain and the possibility of severe thunderstorms in the city on Monday.

Energex says about 4000 people are without power in the Somerset, Lockyer Valley and Gympie regions.
