UPDATE, 11AM: Severe weather for the Gympie region is no longer expected, though localised heavy rainfall remains possible. A statement released by BOM at 10:56am said damaging winds and dangerous surf are no longer expected, but more localised heavy rainfall may occur. A coastal trough lies offshore of the Wide Bay and Southeast Coast districts, with several embedded low pressure systems, the statement read. The risk that any of these lows will move onshore has now decreased. A Flood Watch remains current for coastal catchments south of St Lawrence, extending inland to the Darling Downs.
EARLIER: The Gympie region could be in for a wild day of weather, with the Bureau of Meteorology issuing a severe weather warning for parts of the region.

Researchers from UNSW s Beach Safety Research Group have conducted the first in-depth review specific to coastal drowning.
The study, published in
PLOS ONE, reviewed 146 coastal drowning studies from around the world. We found that evaluation of coastal drowning prevention strategies is rare, said William Koon, the lead author of the study and a PhD candidate in the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences said. This means we simply don t have enough data showing what works and what doesn t work.
