The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a weather warning for a low-pressure trough over the south-east, which is forecast to extend up the coast tonight and into tomorrow.
It could bring rainfall totals of up to 100mm.
The bureau has warned heavy overnight rainfall could lead to flash flooding in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and Beenleigh tomorrow.
The rainfall forecast for tonight is also expected to pose a risk of "dangerous and life-threatening" flash flooding in the Maranoa and Warrego, Darling Downs and Granite Belt and Channel Country districts.
Residents in Roma, Charleville, St George, Mitchell, Injune, Augathella, Surat, Wyandra and Tara are urged to be on alert.
The trough has also created a humid and unstable air mass over the region, which has already triggered thunderstorms today.
The suffocating conditions left Brisbane residents with higher humidity levels than Bali and Singapore this morning.
Two Cross River Rail workers were hospitalised for heat stress by noon today.
Extreme rain and flood watch in place
Residents living in Charleville, Cunnamulla, St George, Bollon, Mitchell, Dirranbandi, Wyandra, Hebel and Mungindi have been warned very dangerous thunderstorms are likely to produce heavy rainfall that may lead to dangerous and life-threatening flash flooding.

A month's worth of rain was dumped over just a few hours yesterday as the impact of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Kirrily continues to be felt.

It is forecast to bring heavy rainfall which may lead to flash flooding in the southeastern North West, western Central West, northern Channel Country and far southwestern Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders districts.
