New South Wales and Queensland are still feeling the effects of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, with severe weather warnings and major flood watches issued this morning.
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 309 millimetres in Brisbane city in just over 24 hours to 10am Monday, and Currumbin Creek, further south 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 New South Wales except for the far north-east and southern coasts.
The BOM has also released new severe thunderstorm and weather warnings for south-east Queensland areas, from north of Gympie down to the Queensland border and westward to include areas of Toowoomba and out to Goondiwindi.
The severe thunderstorm warning is in place for people in Queensland's Central Coast and Whitsundays, Wide Bay and Burnett.
Major flood warnings have been issued for people in Laidley Creek, Bremer River, Warrill Creek, Logan River, Albert River, Tweed River at Tumbulgum, Clarence River near Grafton, Richmond River at Coraki and Bungawalbyn.
Nambour, on the Sunshine Coast, received a jaw-dropping 365mm to 10am Monday, while Archerfield recorded 272.6mm.
