Severe storms have wreaked havoc in parts of Queensland for the third day in a row.

Strong winds lashed the Southern Downs region late on Monday afternoon, causing major damage to the Warwick Aerodrome.

Warwick Gliding Club's Mike Zupanc said there would be a massive clean-up on Tuesday.

"The terminal building I believe has lost its roof and that's landed on some other buildings," Mr Zupanc said.

"So [there is] quite a lot of impact damage from flying debris."

At Toowoomba's Wellcamp Airport, about 90 kilometres north of Warwick, wind gusts of more than 90 kilometres per hour were recorded on Monday night.

Similar wind speeds were recorded at Dalby, 75 kilometres north-west of Toowoomba, and further west in Roma.

Run of extreme weather

It was the third day in a row the region had been impacted by extreme weather.

Giant hailstones fell across parts of southern Queensland on Saturday and Sunday, causing major damage and injuries to several people.

Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Christie Johnson said conditions were easing in southern Queensland, though a cloud band was still looming over the region.

"There's a few showers in that … but not a lot in terms of rainfall totals," Ms Johnson said.

"And it is moving eastward so we'll see increasing sunshine as that cloud contracts away towards the coast and then eventually clears."

Severe storms also impacted parts of north Queensland with lightning strikes causing power outages in parts of the region overnight.

Ergon Energy said about 56 customers at a mining camp near the Coppabella coal mine, about 125 kilometres south-west of Mackay, were without power overnight.

A pole connecting overhead and underground lines was damaged after a storm swept parts of the Bowen Basin on Monday evening, sparking a fire and urgent repairs at the site.

The energy provider said while it had restored power to some customers it could take a full day for power to be restored due to the "difficult to reach location" and severity of the damage.

Ms Johnson said there was a low chance of more storm activity in the region on Tuesday.

"Moranbah did get a storm that brought about 40 millimetres [of rain]," she said.

"I would expect mostly single digit rainfall totals for today, unless we do happen to get a rumble of thunder."
