FED:Flash flooding hits states as rain hammers east coast

Multiple states are at risk of further flash flooding as a complex weather system batters eastern Australia.

Severe weather warnings have been issued in Queensland, NSW and Tasmania, with wild weather set to continue on Thursday, the Bureau of Meteorology said.

Another day of heavy rainfall and unseasonal thunderstorms is set to batter southeast Queensland, including the Darling Downs, Wide Bay and Burnett regions.

"In particular, severe thunderstorms are also possible through the Brisbane area and southeast coast," the bureau's Ilana Cherny said.

"Through these regions of Queensland, we're not only looking at the risk of heavy rainfall which could bring flash flooding, but there's also the risk of damaging wind gusts and large hail."

Brisbane was hit by severe weather on Wednesday, with many roads temporarily cut as rain hammered down from the north, with the city recording 43 millimetres by 8.30am on Thursday.
