The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting a 70 per cent chance of showers and the chance of a thunderstorm later today, which could lead to more flash flooding during the afternoon and evening.
The forecast prompted Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to ask South East Queenslanders, including Moreton Bay Region residents to work from home today. State schools are only open to children of essential workers and those who are vulnerable.
