Huge storm front to hit southeast

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 01 Februari 2013 | 20.08

A SEVERE storm is battering areas from Dalby to Toowoomba and as far down as the New South Wales border.

The Bureau of Meteorology warns that, at 10:05 pm, a line of severe thunderstorms were detected on weather radar from Esk to near Beaudesert and then to the southern border ranges west of Springbrook.

These thunderstorms are moving towards the east and forecast to affect Brisbane CBD, Coolangatta, Beenleigh, Logan City and Kilcoy by 10:35 pm and Cleveland, Strathpine, Redcliffe, Caboolture, Conondale and Kenilworth by 11:05 pm.

 Wind gusts of up to 100km/h have been recorded at the Oakley airport, north of Toowoomba.

A Bureau spokesperson warned that damaging winds of over 90km/h are likely to hit Brisbane tonight.

These winds would be on a similar scale to those experienced earlier this week when ex-cyclone Oswald tore through.

Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Lauren Murphy said the storm developed over the Maranoa and Warrego region near St George earlier this morning.

The storm front is steadily moving east.

While winds are of a similar speed to ex-cyclone Oswald, Ms Murphy said this storm is not following the same patterns.

Large hail stones are also predicted; however as of 9.30pm none had been recorded in Toowoomba's CBD.

Emergency management Queensland is advising residents of Brisbane to move cars under cover, secure loose outdoor items and seek shelter indoors and away from trees and powerlines.
