The Bureau of Meteorology is tracking the system as it moves toward South East Queensland, with rainfall expected to set in over the coming days and persist well into early March.

Residents can expect overcast skies, intermittent showers, and high humidity. The system comes on the heels of recent flooding in Central Australia and severe weather warnings across Victoria.

While rainfall totals are not expected to reach dangerous levels for most of the city, localised flooding in low-lying areas remains possible.
