Severe thunderstorms bringing strong winds and large hailstones are forecast to hit large parts of Queensland today.

Damaging storms are forecast from the New South Wales border, west to the Darling Downs and all the way up the coast to the Capricornia, Mackay and the Central Highlands.

There won't be any relief tomorrow as the risk of severe storm activity peaks and a surface trough moves across the state.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has warned that a storm supercell on Saturday could bring giant hail, destructive winds and flash flooding to the same areas at risk of activity today.

Weather patterns could be similar to those that wreaked havoc on Brisbane last weekend.

The areas of most concern from today through to the weekend are the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast.
