Flood-hit areas in Queensland are preparing for more rain, with thunderstorms expected to hit by Tuesday.
The Bureau of Meteorology says there have been isolated showers in the southern parts of the state that have already been inundated, and the flooding in the border town of Goondiwindi has subsided.
For the next 24 hours, however, thunderstorms will hit central Queensland, where Theodore is battling major floods, as well as cities downstream of Goondiwindi in the southwest.
Flooding is also rising in another area of ​​concern, the Condamine River near the Condamine parish, the Bureau of Meteorology said.
“As for rains today, it is likely that there will be showers primarily around the Maranoa district (southwest), but it is unlikely to have any impact on the river basins,” BOM meteorologist Helen Kirkup told AAP.
“Tomorrow there could be a little more in the Maranoa and Western Downs districts and serious falls could occur.
“I think the next day of concern is Wednesday when we get more rain in this area of ​​Darling Downs-Granite Belt.”
Water levels in Goondiwindi are falling after experiencing the largest flood in a decade, with the Macintyre River peaking at 10.43 meters on Saturday.
On Monday it dropped to 9.28 m and should have sunk below the high water level of 8.50 m by evening.
But major floods are likely downstream at Talwood on the Weir River, with floods expected to rise near their 1998 high tide of 4.36 m on Tuesday.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to hit the border towns from Tuesday, which, according to the office, could lead to “renewed rises in river levels and areas with renewed flooding from the middle of the week”.
Major flooding occurs along the Dawson River in central Queensland at Theodore and Baralaba.
From Tuesday there should also be thunderstorms.
Theodore is expected to peak overnight at 12.20 meters while the Dawson River has exceeded 9 meters in Baralaba and is expected to continue rising through Tuesday.
Along the Condamine River in the Western Downs region, flooding continues between Ranges Bridge and Condamine Township.
Levels at Condamine are expected to rise to 12.10 meters overnight, surpassing the 2013 high of 11.7 meters.
Major flooding occurs along the Balonne River in Warkon (9 m high) and Surat (10 m).
Queensland Fire and Emergency Services said there was a rapid water rescue in Cecil Plains in Darling Downs on Sunday morning after a vehicle was thrown into the flood.
