The Bureau of Meteorology warned that "golf to cricket-ball sized hail" between four and seven centimetres in size had been reported west of Toowoomba, with damaging winds, heavy rainfall, flash flooding and more large hailstones likely.

A BoM spokeswoman said wind gusts of 60-70 kilometres per hour had been recorded in the Darling Downs and 33 millimetres of rain had fallen at Upper Bracker Creek.
