It warned that Gladstone, Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, Maryborough, Gympie and the Sunshine Coast may experience localised flash floods.
A surface trough off the Capricorn coast is producing the heavy rainfall.
It is expected to intensify and move south along the Wide Bay and southeast Queensland coasts on Tuesday. Source
