BOM's Queensland weekend weather forecast includes heavy rainfall, severe storms as warnings issued

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.

While severe thunderstorm warnings have now been cancelled across south-east Queensland, warnings for heavy rainfall remain in place for the Darling Downs and Granite Belt, parts of Central Highlands and Coalfields, Capricornia, Wide Bay and Burnett and Maranoa and Warrego Forecast Districts.
