Southeast Queensland is cleaning up after wild weather over the past two days that has brought flooding which inundated homes and left hundreds of cars under water.
Meanwhile, central Queensland can expect thunderstorms and heavy rain as the weather system moves north.
Brisbane's CBD was among the hardest hit areas on Tuesday, receiving 120mm of rain, most of it in an hour-long downpour that flooded streets, entered buildings, disrupted public transport and submerged cars.
Weatherzone.com.au reported the city received its heaviest 10-minute downpour of rain in at least eight years, receiving 25mm just after 11.40am (AEST).
Other suburbs that experienced heavy downfalls included Rochedale (105mm), Priestdale (99mm) and Carbrook (93mm).
In the Brisbane westside suburb of Milton, localised flooding carried cars down streets, with reports of over 200 cars being washed away between Milton and Windsor.
Further north Beerwah received 150mm and Beerburrum 158mm.
The SES received 150 calls for assistance, mainly for leaking roofs.
Police rescued three females aged 51, 18 and 11 from a flooded creek after they became trapped on the roof of their four wheel drive near Taroom northwest of Brisbane on Tuesday.
Rescue ropes and a winch cable pulled the trio to safety.
Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Gavin Holcombe said while showers are likely in the southeast corner, moderate to heavy falls are likely in central Queensland, from Bundaberg northwards.
"The heavy activity is more likely to be inland rather than on the coast itself, but places like Rockhampton could certainly see some reasonable rainfall by tonight," he said.
Parched Toowoomba, west of Brisbane received 87mm overnight on Monday, its best rainfall in 11 years.
"They could certainly do with a lot more rain yet," Mr Holcombe said.
