The Bureau of Meteorology updates its forecast for Saturday's grand final in Brisbane but the Tigers and Cats — and the crowd — aren't in the all clear yet.

It's the news that the grand final crowd will greet with relief — storm activity forecast for South East Queensland on Saturday is expected to stay inland, sparing the Gabba and its historic Queensland game.

The Melbourne-based Tigers and Cats might find Brisbane's muggy October tough but they won't have to sweat over the chance of a rain-out., but today meteorologist Rosa Hoff​ said the capital is now likely to be clear of storms. Tom Lynch of the Tigers wrestles with Mark O'Connor of the Cats during a round-17 AFL match in September.

Ms Boekel said the storm activity expected inland could cover an extensive area of the central and south of the state."We are expecting some of those storms to get severe," she said.
