Brisbane spared as Toowoomba in firing line for severe storm with winds and hail - Courier Mail

A SEVERE storm has been forecast for Toowoomba this afternoon but Brisbane has so far been given the all clear.

The storm cell has travelled from northern New South Wales and is expected to bring damaging winds and large hailstones to Clifton and Toowoomba by 5.05pm.

Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Julian De Morton said the storm was just east of Clifton.

"It's very unlikely we will see anything Brisbane," he said.

"It's steering southerly and it will be tracking northwards."

Mr De Morton said several storms had crossed the NSW and Queensland border but it was just the one near Toowoomba that had been labelled "severe."

He said Brisbane would instead experience a hot and humid night.
