The Bureau of Meteorology's severe weather warning and flood watch remains in place for areas including the City of Moreton Bay. A marine wind warning has also been issued for coastal areas.

Since 9am, Bribie Island has received 69mm and Toorbul 63mm.

Heavy rainfall, which may lead to flash flooding, is occurring over parts of the South East Coast and far southeastern Wide Bay and Burnett area today. 

Three to six-hourly rainfall totals between 100-200mm are likely, with isolated 24-hourly totals exceeding 350mm possible. 

Localised intense rainfall, leading to DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING, is possible during this period, with six-hourly rainfall totals between 150-250mm possible. 

Catchments likely to be affected include the Pine and Caboolture rivers, but localised flash flooding is also possible.

Seqwater says its Flood Operations Centre has moved to the ‘Alert’ activation level, in response to forecast rainfall. Releases may be required from North Pine and Somerset Dams within the next 24-48 hours.
