Heavy rain looks set to lash large parts of Queensland this weekend as the weather bureau issues several flash flooding and severe thunderstorm warnings for central and southern parts of the state.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has placed most of central and southern Queensland on flood watch as residents in the Wide Bay, Burnett and the state's south-eastern forecast districts brace for potential flooding.
The BOM said severe storms were likely to produce heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding in Gympie, Cooroy, Imbil, Nambour and Rainbow Beach.
