Severe thunderstorms are set to hit south-east Queensland over the coming five days, with damaging winds and large hail forecast.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for areas in the Southeast Coast, Wide Bay and Burnett and Capricornia region, including Gayndah, Gin Gin, Miriam Vale, Childers and Biggenden.

A surface trough will combine with strong winds to create a potentially dangerous system this afternoon and into the evening.

People are advised to park their cars away from trees, close doors and windows, and not to drive unless they have to in dangerous conditions. 

An earlier thunderstorm warning for the Darling Downs and Granite Belt district has been cancelled.

Unstable weather including daily rain and severe thunderstorm activity is expected
