Severe storms with damaging winds, large hail, dry lightning and little or no rain are on the cards during another warm weekend across south-east Queensland, according to the weather bureau.

Fire danger levels are set to reach severe levels and Gold Coast boaties hoping to spend the weekend on the water may need to rethink their plans with a strong wind warning issued for the area.

Meteorologist Kimba Wong said temperatures would increase as the storm threat loomed late on Friday and Saturday morning.

"The reason for the trend is winds turning north-west ahead of the trough in the far south-west and those north-westerly winds are bringing warm temperatures into southern Queensland," she said.
