It also could dump a parting gift of up to 100mm of rain on the Sunshine Coast region on Friday.

The Bureau of Meteorology is also predicting the chance of thunderstorm.

Sunday will be partly cloudy and then there’s only the chance of a shower or two through to Wednesday.

Temperatures over the next few days will be between 22C and 27C.
