Beleaguered cities Brisbane, Sydney escape the worst, but there's more wild weather to come

The worst is over for residents of Queensland and NSW after late afternoon thunderstorms struck, but more wild weather is expected over the weekend.

Brisbane is facing another wet and windy few days just a week after it saw a clean-up bill for a powerful thunderstorm which could rise to $1 billion.

Sydney residents are under siege for the sixth day straight, as another menacing storm front swallowed the skies above.

Hail and rain hammered Springwood in the Blue Mountains, where just weeks ago bushfires threatened homes.

The tempest didn't tire when it reached Sydney, with a lightning spectacular across the city.

At street level west of Ipswich, it was hard to see past the bonnet. Toowoomba streets disappeared underwater with flash flooding.

The hail this time was smaller, but it came down fast - even touching Charleville in the state's south west.

Brisbane residents who had taken out bins full of storm waste for kerbside collection have been told to take the debris back undercover to stop it blowing around in the next few days.

Council has a team of 500 working through the suburbs on kerb patrol. They've collected more than 600 tonnes of storm waste but there's still a huge task ahead.

SES volunteers have so far carried out repairs on 2800 properties damaged in the previous storms.

Handymen say they've been swamped with calls for help from people concerned their already damaged homes will become dangerous

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued storm warnings for areas of southeast Queensland including the Darling Downs and southeast coastal districts.

Afternoon storms are expected to hit Brisbane from today through to Monday, though forecasts suggest they will not reach the severity of last week's weather.

Western Sydney residents are also facing a stormy afternoon after the Bureau issued a warning.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms will affect the Blue Mountains, the Hawkesbury, Penrith and south to Wollongong.

Residents are advised to move their vehicles undercover and away from trees, secure loose items outside and avoid travelling through flood waters or storms if possible.
