Rain and the chance of a thunderstorm resulting from ex-cyclone Alfred are forecast for the Sunshine Coast by the Bureau of Meteorology on Sunday.
They say damaging wind gusts and heavy rain which may lead to flash flooding is possible on the Sunshine Coast with winds northeasterly 20 to 30 km/h, reaching 30 to 50 km/h at times.
Large and powerful surf conditions are expected to be hazardous for coastal activities such as rock fishing, swimming and surfing.
The Queensland Police Service (QPS) has advised all southeast Queensland residents that all emergency alerts issued since Thursday that are relevant to Tropical Cyclone Alfred, have been cancelled.
Local government councils have several Watch and Acts and Advice warnings current for residents between Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast to monitor conditions and stay informed.
Seven emergency alerts were issued over the course of Thursday and Friday, March 6 and 7, advising residents across Redlands, Moreton, Gold Coast and Brisbane to take shelter from the approaching severe weather system.
Now that the system has downgraded, the immediate threat of destructive winds has passed and all alerts relating to taking shelter have been cancelled, police say.
The QPS reminds residents that while the immediate threat of a cyclone is over, there is still a significant amount of rainfall expected over the coming days which could result in flash flooding and riverine flooding.
For this reason, emergency services are urging all residents to keep up to date with the latest warnings, understand your risk and respond appropriately.
