Qld storms could bring severe conditions

Southeast Queenslanders are being urged to brace for thunderstorms that could bring damaging winds, large hail and flash flooding.

Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Shaun Luscombe said the storms, which could be severe, are likely to hit on Thursday afternoon and continue into the evening.

A trough moving upwards through the state and a southeasterly change moving behind it were to blame, he said.
