Storms developed over eastern Queensland through the southern Wide Bay and Burnett and northern Southeast Coast districts. The most severe storms occurred in the Wide Bay and Burnett district, affecting chiefly the Monto and Gayndah areas where houses were unroofed.

Storm activity continued east to the coast from northern Capricornia into the tropics. Mackay was hit by a carry-over storm from the previous day's activity. A 113km/h gust was recorded at the airport. And caused a portable staircase to be blown onto an aircraft. Damage to roofing was sustained elsewhere in the town, and at least one large tree was blown over. During the afternoon widespread storm activity again developed east of the trough. The northern Capricornia district experienced some of the strongest storms.

Yeppoon was affected by the right half of a splitting storm cell which produced 20 cent piece sized hail and wind gusts were estimated to have rached 80 km/h. Trees were also blown onto cars in the town. Further north, storm activity produced 97mm of rainfall in an hour in the Cardwell/Ingham area.
