It has been a pretty wet night and day in Brisbane. Roads have been closed due to localised flooding, north and west of Brisbane. We are starting to have flash flooding as the rain band from up north is slowly moving south.
The Moreton Bay Regional Council says 10 local roads are flooded and it is monitoring several others.
Emergency Services say SES crews have been called out to four roof repair jobs in the south-east.
The weather bureau is predicting a wet and windy weekend for the south-east.
Overnight, there have been heavy falls of more than 120 millimetres around the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane's northern suburbs.
Areas further south received up to 75 millimetres.
Earlier forecaster Jonty Hall says there is more to come. He said "I'd be surprised if this hung around all day," he said.
"We'll see showers feeding onto the coast and a bit of patchy light rain but we won't see the heavy stuff going all day. ( Guess what, it has been, with rather heavy falls at times especially here at Bracken Ridge. )
Saturday's still shaping up to have a fair bit of rain around, clouding conditions and fairly windy."
He says Brisbane has also received some goodfalls.
"The best falls we've got in the Brisbane area at the moment is in those outer northern suburbs up towards Caboolture," he said.
"There's an area just near Burpengary that's had more than 100 millimetres - about 110."
The Buearua has forecasted a low, this is the post
A weak low pressure system is expected to develop near the Queensland coast in
the vicinity of 23S 152E during the next 24 hours but will not be a tropical
cyclone. The low is expected to deepen and track southeast near the Queensland
east coast on Saturday and be located off the far southern Queensland or
northern New South Wales coast on Sunday.
It is said that almost 2/3 of QLD is flooded and floodwaters across parts of western Queensland are again on the rise.
The weather bureau's Peter Baddiley says "the Georgina and Diamantina rivers in the central west are at the heights of the massive 1974 floods."
All we need in Brisbane is for the low to form, call it Cyclone Wanda II and we have the 1974 floods. Our tides are still very high and we are receiving a lot of rain.
At this stage it is hard to tell exactly how much rain or to what extent Brisbane will flash flood over the next two days if this continues, it is a wait and see at this stage.
I went out with my wife to look at some of the local areas, and they are starting to flood, we will be going out again shortly to take some more photos, for records if this weather pattern persists.
As I said it is early days and I had My wife try and take the photos as we were driving to see how it would work out, because there is nowhere to pull over.
The last pictures is sort of the normal view from the rear of our house. You overlook Redcliffe, Moreton Bay, Moreton Island and North Straddie on a good day. But the first picture is what it has been like all day.
Just about to head out and see how much it has risen.
