LARGE swathes of Queensland are expected to be threatened by severe storms on late Sunday afternoon and evening.

The weather bureau says dozens of communities, from Georgetown to the Sunshine Coast, can expect damaging winds, heavy rain, flash flooding, and large hail.

Rockhampton had already recorded wind gusts of up to 82 kilometres an hour at 3pm (AEST).

The bureau has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for people in the Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders, Herbert and Lower Burdekin, Central Coast and Whitsundays, Central Highlands and Coalfields, Capricornia, Wide Bay and Burnett, and parts of the Gulf Country, Northern Tropical Coast and Tablelands, Central West, Darling Downs and Granite Belt and the Southeast Coast.

On Saturday hundreds of cars and homes were damaged in a severe hailstorm on the Sunshine Coast.

Hailstones the size of cricket balls battered the region but there were no reports of major injury, the Department of Community Safety told AAP.

Spokeswoman Katie Rowney says on Saturday SES volunteers were at an awards ceremony in Gympie for State Emergency Service Week and about a quarter of the audience had to leave.

There were about 200 requests for help, mostly from Maroochydore, she said.
