Showers and potential storms were forecast to remain on the cards throughout the weekend and into the middle of next week thanks to upper trough lingering over the south-east.

The Bureau of Meteorology had issued two severe weather warnings for the Sunshine Coast region as well as parts of Ipswich and Scenic Rim, with all three locations recording heavy falls throughout the afternoon before the warnings were cancelled.

Peak Crossing on the border of the Ipswich and Scenic Rim regions recorded 63 millimetres and Brisbane City received 21 millimetres on Friday.

BoM meteorologist Harry Clark said the weekend would be "fairly showery" with most of the south-east expecting a drop or two of rain, potential storms and generally overcast conditions.

He added that similar conditions to those seen across the south-east on Friday were expected to hang around until next Wednesday.

"An upper trough has moved over south-east Queensland, and generated a big contrast between warm surface air and colder air above, which has created instability," Mr Clark said.

"It will be lingering for much of next week and combine with a surface trough off the coast leading to increasing shower activity for much of coming week.

"There is some uncertainty around next week, with the potential of a low-pressure system forming.

"If it forms to the north it could lead to increased shower activity, but if forms to the south it could warm things up.

"Hail not likely, it will be increased shower activity more than anything else and the chance of a storm in the mix, so nothing too severe on the outlook."
