Central Queensland braces for drenching

A SEVERE weather warning is in place for parts of Queensland, where authorities say heavy rainfall may cause flash flooding.

The weather bureau is predicting heavy rainfall from Gladstone to the New South Wales border on Sunday night and Monday.

More than 200mm of rain is expected in some areas and strong winds are likely from Bowen to Bundaberg.

"You can expect flash flooding after heavy rainfall, but of course it depends on how heavy and widespread it has been," Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Ben Annels told AAP.

Flood warnings are in place for Balonne, Thompson, Barcoo and western rivers as well as Cooper Creek.

An earlier severe thunderstorm warning for Brisbane has since been lifted, although further thunderstorms are possible, Mr Annels says.

Water at Wivenhoe and Somerset dams in southeast Queensland is being released in preparation for more heavy rain, Seqwater says.

On Sunday night water will also be released at North Pine and Leslie Harrison dams.

All of these dams are 88 to 100 per cent full.

Water is spilling over twelve ungated dams in the region.

A number of lakes have been closed, with details available on the Seqwater website.
