A Minor Flood Warning has been issued and Gale and Dangerous Surf warnings remain in place for the southeast Queensland Coast including the Moreton Bay Region as a complex weather system moves down the coast today.
The Bureau of Meteorology is warning that minor flooding may occur along the Stanley River at Woodford this afternoon (Friday).
Rainfall totals of 80-120mm have been observed over the Stanley River catchment area since 9am Thursday. Showers are expected to continue during Friday.
The Stanley River at Woodford is currently at 2.82m and rising. It is likely to reach the minor flood level (5m) later today.
Meantime, a Gale Wind Warning remains in place for Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast.
An East Coast Low is developing off the coast east of K'gari (Fraser Island) and will gradually move southwards as it continues to deepen. The low will move away to the southeast on Saturday, with winds gradually easing.
Damaging winds averaging 55-65km/h, with peak gusts of about 90km/h, may develop at K'gari (Fraser Island), Stradbroke and Moreton Islands, and the exposed parts of the Sunshine Coast north of Coolum today.
A Dangerous Surf Warning remains in place and authorities are asking people to stay out of the water and away exposed rocky shorelines. Bribie Island is likely to be affected. Significant wave heights exceeding 4m from an east to southeasterly direction are expected.
