Weather guru Jeff Higgins of Higgins Storm Chasing said the Whitsunday coast is not included in the “extreme risk” area but is still in the “high risk” zone.
Damaging winds, rain exceeding 100mm, flash flooding and frequent lightening are expected.
“As far as severe storm set ups are concerned this ranks in the top 5 over the past 12 months and people need to be made well aware of the dangerous potential during Friday” he said.
