Intense storms and heavy rain are set to continue in one state, as forecasters expect the most severe weather could be on its way.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued multiple flood warnings across Queensland, along with an alert for parts of the southeast, which had upwards of 100 millimetres of rain on Saturday.
The warnings include the Logan River, Boyne River and Barambah Creek.

In the South Burnett region, residents took to social media to post videos of flooding over the roads and in the centre of towns.
On Friday, emergency services were called out to rescue people trapped in their cars due to floods.
Senior meteorologist Angus Hines said Sunday would be another wet and stormy day, and potentially experience the highest rainfall totals and most extensive thunderstorms.
"We've got broad risks of severe thunderstorms stretching all the way from Townsville down to Brisbane," he told AAP.
"Another very active day likely to bring some further weather impact, flash flooding, road closures, possible damage to trees, property crops, as well as potential for power outages."
Mr Hines said while the central Queensland coast had the highest flood risk for Sunday, the risk for all other regions should not be downplayed.
"Flash flooding would happen very quickly if further rainfall fell in those places because of how wet it has been - the ground can't really soak up a lot more rain," he said.
The bureau forecasts showers and storms to continue into the week, and although the intensity is expected to come down a couple of notches, severe weather remains a risk into Wednesday.
