The bureau warned the thunderstorm is likely to produce damaging, locally destructive winds and large, possibly giant hailstones, as well as heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding.
Hail stones measuring between three and seven centimetres have been recorded at Yamanto, Flinders View, Ripley and Mudgeeraba between 2:30pm and 3:30pm, the bureau confirmed.
A severe thunderstorm warning is also in place for parts of the Central Highlands and Coalfields, Wide Bay and Burnett and Southeast Coast forecast districts.
Giant hail is considered anything larger than 5cm in diameter, according to official definitions used by the bureau.
In 2020, 14-centimetre hailstones were recorded around the Brisbane area.
Giant hail can cause significant injuries and damage cars, windows, homes and even crops which end up in its path.
