Southeast Queensland and northeast NSW are again bracing for severe wet weather as a slow-moving and potentially dangerous east coast low hammers the east coast.
The Bureau of Meteorology issued a warning on Monday for more heavy rainfall and potentially life-threatening flash floods from Noosa, Queensland down to the NSW border.
The coastal trough over southeast Queensland is expected to deepen on Monday and into Tuesday, with rainfall totals of up to 250mm possible.
However, forecasters say conditions could be patchy over coastal areas with rainfall totals of 50-100mm in some areas.
