Widespread, heavy rainfall will drench the Mackay and Central Queensland regions over the next 24 hours.
Mackay residents woke Christmas morning to wet and wild weather, with places like Upper Finch Hatton having received 66mm of rainfall since 9am Thursday.
The highest rainfall total recorded in the region was 105mm west of Moranbah, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
BOM meteorologist Livio Regano said the Central Highlands region copped the biggest drenching in the past 24 hours – and more is on the way.
“A large area from Mackay going west through the Coalfields, northwest to Gulf Country and south to Rockhampton is where the falls are going to be heavy in the next 24 hours,” Mr Regano said.
