New South Wales and Queensland are still feeling the effects of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, with emergency alerts and flood watches issued throughout the night.

Parts of south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales have been lashed by driving rain, sparking flash flooding, as the system moves further inland. 

Weather stations have reported huge falls, including 299 millimetres of rain in Brisbane city in just over 18 hours to 4am Monday, and further south, with Currumbin Creek recording 259mm.

The Brisbane falls represent a decent chunk, in less than 24 hours, of the annual mean rainfall of 1,050mm 

The Bureau of Meteorology expects the heavy rainfall to gradually start to ease along the coast during Monday, but plenty of showers and storms will continue over inland parts, including severe thunderstorms and damaging wind gusts south of Emerald in Queensland, and possible thunderstorms across most of the New South Wales except for the far-north-east, and southern coasts.

The BOM has also released a new severe thunderstorm warning overnight.

The severe thunderstorm warning is in place for people in parts of Ipswich, Logan, Scenic Rim, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane City and Moreton Bay Council Areas.

Nambour, on the Sunshine Coast, has received a jaw-dropping 323mm since yesterday, while Archerfield has recorded 265mm.
