More Than A Million Queenslanders Are Warned Of Potentially Severe Storms | 10 News
The concern is supercells. In 10 News' Queensland forecast, the Bureau of Meteorology warns that conditions could support storms capable of producing unusually dangerous weather across the south-east.
Reporting live from Bundall, Tiarni Reid identifies heavy rain that could cause flash flooding, giant hail and destructive winds as the main threats. Tornadoes cannot be ruled out inland, she says. The report was published on Monday, with the forecast focused on Tuesday.
Meteorologist Angus Hines explains what the bureau means by "high-end weather hazards": hailstones at least five centimetres across and destructive winds. Radar and forecast graphics place Brisbane, Ipswich, Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast within the report's regional picture, alongside hail activity in Yarraman. These are forecast risks, not confirmation that every area will experience them.
The short bulletin reached about 80,000 views before its first day was over, far beyond the channel's usual start for this format. Its focus is the potential severity of the storms, with Reid returning live after Hines' explanation to outline their expected arrival.
A state in northeastern Australia, bordered to the east by the Coral Sea and Pacific Ocean. It is Australia's second-largest state by area.
