Damaging winds could bring down trees or tree limbs and make for dangerous driving conditions in these areas.
The Bureau said a trough is moving up the southern and central coast of NSW and will sweep through these areas on Tuesday afternoon and evening.
It will also trigger storms and rainfall in Queensland.
Showers and storms will continue into Wednesday in these same areas, mostly hammering south-east Queensland.
The storm risk will fade on Thursday, leaving coastal NSW and south-east Queensland with mostly coastal showers.
A strong wind warning has also been issued by the Bureau for the Moreton Bay and Gold Coast area.
