A series of dangerous storms have dumped hail on communities across south-east Queensland.

Vision from Maryborough on Monday night shows built-up hail accumulating in chunks across a road.

The Bureau of Meteorology issued a number of warnings for very dangerous and severe storms from north of Maryborough down to northern NSW.

More than 50 millimetres of rain was recorded in 30 minutes at Cooroy, on the Sunshine Coast.

Hervey Bay resident Michael was speaking to ABC 612 when his home was hit by a storm.

He said his front lawn looked like it was "covered with golf balls".

As of 9pm a severe thunderstorm warning remained in place for parts of the Central Highlands and Coalfields, Wide Bay and Burnett and Darling Downs and Granite Belt.

The bureau has forecast more extreme weather for much of south-east Queensland on Tuesday and warned the potential for very dangerous storm cells could even result in one or two brief and short-lived tornadoes.

Senior forecaster Angus Hines said storms could bring "significant damage" including large hail, wind damage and flash flooding.
