Update posted Oct. 16, 6 a.m. 

Thursday’s flash flood warning for San Luis Obispo County was lifted by the National Weather Service. Parts of inland SLO County are still listed in the weather service’s warning spots for hazardous weather.

A moist and unstable air mass will bring the potential for strong thunderstorms to the mountains of Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angles Counties as well as Antelope Valley this afternoon, and will result in the potential for flash flooding as well as mud and debris flows. Additionally, thunderstorms could produce gusty and erratic winds as well as hail.

According to ABC 30 in Fresno, parts of 1-5 over the Grapevine are closed due to mudslides caused by flash flooding yesterday. The I-5 is expected to be closed in that area all day today.
