Brisbane faces a week of storms, heavy rain and flash-flood risk

The Bureau of Meteorology expects storms and showers across Brisbane for the next week.

Wednesday is forecast to bring the most significant storms, with damaging winds, heavy rain and large hail possible across south-east Queensland.

Already-wet ground raises the risk of flash flooding, and even 20 to 30 millimetres of rain could cause flooding in some areas.

Further storms are possible on Thursday, while Friday is expected to be milder.

More widespread storms may return on Saturday and Sunday, with Sunday possibly bringing the most rain.

The stormy weather is expected to ease from mid-next week as drier air moves across southern Queensland; forecasters say they will better identify at-risk suburbs once storms form and their paths become clearer.
