Queensland residents are waking up without electricity this morning after a night of wild winds and rain brought down power lines.

The southeastern region of the state endured a barrage of severe storms that began to unfold late yesterday afternoon, delivering golf ball-sized hail and powerful winds.

Originating as a supercell that moved north from New South Wales, the storm wreaked havoc, particularly in areas like Ipswich, Caboolture, and Samford, which are located to the north of Brisbane.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, hailstones as large as five centimeters were reported in these affected regions.

At the height of the storm, around 9:45 p.m., approximately 4,800 homes were left without electricity.

As of today, around 100 customers in southeast Queensland are still experiencing power outages.

Energex said it was working to fix the power outages in affected areas.

While the storm may have passed, extreme weather conditions remain on the cards for residents across the state.

Residents have been warned to brace for blistering conditions.

Temperatures are forecast to soar early next week, with Brisbane reaching the low to mid-30s over the next few days and a top of 36 degrees by Thursday.

A spring heatwave warning is also in place for parts of central and north-west Queensland, including Mt Isa, Birdsville and Thargomindah
