Severe thunderstorms are possible for south-east Queensland today.
A severe heatwave warning remains in place for the Cape York Peninsula, North Tropical Coast and Tablelands districts.
The Bureau of Meteorology says severe thunderstorm risks are expected to shift north from Tuesday.
Severe thunderstorms could bring giant hail, heavy rain and destructive winds to south-east Queensland from midday today, the Bureau of Meteorology warns.
Meteorologist Robert Urbaniak said areas south of Hervey Bay down to the Gold Coast and west towards Toowoomba could be in the firing line.
"There is a chance for giant hail, which is bigger than 5 centimetres, and intense rainfall and destructive winds greater than 125 kilometres an hour," he said.
"So that's a big storm day; that's pretty impactful."
The bureau said the severe storms were expected to hit from midday and peak between 2pm and 5pm.
"Regular thunderstorms are possible most other places other than the far south-west," Mr Urbaniak said.

Weipa has recorded its longest stretch of days with temperatures above 36 degrees Celsius, with 41 days as of Sunday.
Mr Urbaniak said this was expected to continue into the coming weekend.
