For people in Southeast Coast and parts of Wide Bay and Burnett and Darling Downs and Granite Belt Forecast Districts.

Issued at 10:59 am Monday, 30 May 2022.

DAMAGING WINDS with peak gusts in excess of 90 km/h are possible over the southeastern interior, primarily on and east of elevated terrain (particularly the Main Range and Scenic Rim) from this evening, extending across the southeast overnight and during Tuesday. DAMAGING WINDS with peak gusts in excess of 90 km/h may reach the Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast areas during Tuesday morning, particularly on and east of elevated terrain.
