A cyclone watch from Cooktown to Palm Island has been cancelled with the weather bureau calling the tropical low off Queensland "disorganised".

A severe weather warning has been issued for the far north Queensland Peninsula, North Tropical Coast and Tablelands due to heavy rain.

North Queensland is bracing for heavy rainfall and potential flash flooding as disorganised tropical low 29U approaches the mainland.

Rain could fall in Brisbane through the weekend and beyond, as a possible cyclone approaches the state’s north.

Showers are predicted in the south-east until Tuesday, with severe storms possible.

Daniel Hayes from the Bureau of Meteorology said the weather system off the coast near Cooktown might drive moisture towards Brisbane in coming days.

“We do start to see the increase in tropical moisture from later tomorrow and particularly over the weekend,” he said.

He said Sunday could be the wettest day, with an upper-level trough moving across the region.

Damaging winds to sweep Tasmania on Saturday after heatwave

Tasmania is in for a battering on Saturday, with the Bureau of Meteorology warning damaging winds could gust up to 120km/h across much of the state.

A severe weather warning has been issued for large parts of Tasmania, including Hobart, as a low-pressure system barrels towards the island’s south-west.

The north-east and the Furneaux Islands are expected to be hit first, with damaging winds averaging 55 to 65km/h and gusts of around 100km/h forecast from mid-morning.

Hobart and surrounding areas could see gusts reach 100km/h from late morning, while elevated and exposed locations may cop even stronger conditions, with gusts up to 120km/h possible.
