Gold Coast deluge: another 100mm
Up to 170mm of rain falls in parts of the Gold Coast in 24 hours with more forecast on Tuesday. Nine News
BoM forecaster Rick Threlfall said the trough was predicted to develop into a low pressure system on Monday night before delivering heavy rain from Brisbane down to the New South Wales border.
Strong winds along the southern coast were also forecast, with the potential for gale-force winds offshore.
Mr Threlfall said the Gold Coast would be the worst hit, with rain between 50 and 100 millimetres expected to arrive first thing on Tuesday and bring possible heavier falls over hinterland areas.
Brisbane should be partly cloudy on Tuesday morning as the system developed before delivering "fairly steady rainfall" of up to 50 millimetres later on.
However, the bureau was not expecting flash flooding and said the winds of up to 80km/h did not warrant a severe wind warning.
The wet weather was predicted to hang around throughout Tuesday, before easing to showers on Wednesday and clearing up on Thursday.
The chance of a shower or two would remain over the weekend, but mostly fine conditions should return.
