Residents of 71 homes in southeast Queensland's Lockyer Valley are being urged to keep a close eye on rising waters with authorities warning low-lying areas may flood overnight.

Four houses at Laidley and 67 in Forest Hill could be inundated in the same region where 22 people were killed when flash floods ripped through in 2011.

A police spokesman confirmed there was no evacuation order but said people were being warned to prepare to leave and stay with relatives by the local disaster management group on Thursday night.
