A mixed bag of weather over the next few days from possible severe storms and showers to above average temperatures . The current low that is sitting over Queensland will slowly move to the East as another trough moves in from the Southwest.

Today storms will fire off at the drop of a hat. Even though the lower levels are saturated, severe storms are still possible for today. As the heat builds again this afternoon after the 1st round of storms really dropped temperatures, especially out at the airport, currently sitting at 20°C at 12:00 midday, we should see some towers and storm build quickly once again.

This was the previous STW issued prior to the 101 mm of rain that fell at Luggage Point
The airport recorded 91 mm fall.

7 news report in regards to the intense supercell that struck the Brisbane Airport this morning.

The storm cell hit about 11am on Friday, with video footage taken at the airport showing catering pods being blown around on the tarmac near a boarding gate.

The Brisbane Airport Corporation said there was some damage, mainly centred on the international terminal.


Flights were banned from taking off and landing and knock-on effects are expected to delay services for some time, a BAC spokeswoman told AAP.

"We have teams assessing exactly what damage has happened. I've seen some video suggesting things on the apron have flown about," she said.

"Certainly there's been some sort of sheeting or roofing that's come off. I don't know which building but it all seems to be around our international terminal."

It's not yet clear if any aircraft have been damaged but no injuries have been reported.

Just a few photos of minor damage at the airport

Slow moving storms this afternoon.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning - Southeast Queensland
for DAMAGING WINDS and LARGE HAILSTONES
For people in parts of Southern Downs and Toowoomba Council Areas.

Issued at 4:27 pm Saturday, 23 October 2021.

The Bureau of Meteorology warns that, at 4:20 pm, severe thunderstorms were detected on the weather radar near Leyburn and the area southwest of Warwick. These thunderstorms are moving towards the northeast to southeast. They are forecast to affect Stanthorpe, Applethorpe and Dalveen by 4:50 pm and Warwick, the area north of Warwick and Allora by 5:20 pm.

Damaging winds and large hailstones are likely.

The warm Westerlies have kicked in and already and by 09:15 we have reached slightly over 31°C here at Lawnton.

It will be a hot day as the trough moves towards the east. Tomorrow an upper trough will approach the Southweatern parts of Queensland and once again cause unstable atmospheric conditions to build. This should produce a high chance of thunderstorms, possibly severe once again over NE NSW and SEQLD and up to Hervey Bay and surrounds.

Some of the hottest day recorded for October in some places today. I have highlighted the max. temps for today around the SEQ.

Unfortunately I don’t have the time to write a full breakdown for Monday.

But it is a little bit of a mixed bag. Not a real clear cut storm set up. SkewT have plus and minuses for storms and charts are suggesting storms are more favourable to the North from Hervey Bay up to St Lawrence.
I think from looking at the satellite and charts that for the SEQ area we will see some thunder showers or embedded storms. It is heating up very quickly.

There is still the possibility of severe storms in some areas. The 11:00 sounding will give us a better idea but I wouldn’t be surprised we could see showers/ storms before that,
