Though Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred has passed, some are still on edge as parts of Queensland are in for a wet few days.

Bogewong near Longreach has already seen 230mm fall in 24 hours, Florence Creek near Cloncurry has copped 154mm, the Pinnacles just outside of Townsville has had 151mm and low-lying areas in Brisbane, low-lying are being warned to prepare for flash flooding.

Ken Kato from the Early Warning Network told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "At this stage the main peak of the steadier rain looks like being from say later tomorrow into Saturday.

"But there is the possibility of a thunderstorm in some spots hanging around on Sunday with a burst of locally heavy rainfall."
