Summary

Two bushfires in Queensland's Lockyer Valley are expected to merge within days, with severe thunderstorms expected to worsen conditions. Over 30 crews and five waterbombing aircraft, including Bomber 141, are battling the fires that have burned approximately 1,700 hectares. The Bureau of Meteorology has warned of severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall moving through southeast Queensland, which could lead to dry lightning sparking new fires and high winds pushing existing fire fronts unpredictably.
