The Bureau of Meteorology warned very dangerous thunderstorms could bring more destructive winds and a flood watch has been issued for much of the southeast, covering the Gold Coast and Brisbane, all the way north to Rockhampton.
"At this stage we're not expecting widespread flooding but areas of heavy rain with thunderstorms could produce flash flooding as well as rapid rises in rivers, creeks and storm drains," meteorologist Jonathan How said.
On Sunday storms are forecast to move inland, with giant hail possible from Charters Towers to Emerald.
About 133,000 Energex customers lost power earlier this week after a tornado and storms battered the region.
There were about 28,000 people still waiting for power to be reconnected, predominantly in the hardest hit areas of the Gold Coast, Scenic Rim and Logan.
Queensland Energy chief executive Peter Scott said there'd been another 5000 outages on the Sunshine Coast and 2500 at Moreton Bay after storms rolled through on Saturday morning.
Queensland Premier Steven Miles said some people might be without power for nearly another week.
"The fact is if they're still without power that's because connecting their power is complicated and complex," he said.
"The crews are doing a great job, they're doing everything they can."
Nicole Fraser-Lyons told AAP she was still without power, water or phone reception at her home in the Gold Coast hinterland where she lives with her husband, three-year-old son and her parents-in-law.
"Our fridge and freezer aren't coping very well on the generator," she said.
"Every time you plug a fan or something like that in, it cuts out the generator because it can't supply that kind of power.
"The stopping and the starting of the generator and the surges can actually break your fridges as well so we're just waiting for our fridges to give out."

Queensland Police said there were still 16 intersections on the Gold Coast without traffic lights due to power outages.
Comissioner Katarina Carroll warned people to avoid the roads if possible, especially in severe thunderstorms.
"The conditions are pretty atrocious," she said.

Queensland's Disaster Recovery Minister Nikki Boyd said six homes had been "totally destroyed" by the storms that have occurred since Christmas Day.
She said the SES had received 3824 requests for assistance across Queensland's southeast in the same period.
