euphoria to filling out the ballot and finally casting his vote. some pundits have claimed this election have really low turnouts, but the worst ever? we contacted the secretary of state's office. they say right now voter turnout is sitting around 18.3%. then we scrolled through cal kl's primary voting history to see how it stacks up. 2012's provide marry was 31%. 2010, 33%, 2008, 28%. that was the previous low by a healthy margin. these records date all the way back to 1916 when 44% of voters turned out. so to answer the original question, yes, this year claims california's title for lowest voter turnout ever. >> we did ask the secretary of state's office how much of a bump in voter turnout they're expecting once all of those votes are counted and certified. spokesperson says she's not sure but the results would become official in mid-july.

really the biggest miracled change in that forecast as we head throughout the next 72 hours is this huge atmospheric ridge of high pressure that's providing a major blocking pattern. it's not unusual to see the storm track this time of year head this far to the north, but what is unusual is the strength of this high pressure. it's something we shouldn't see until about july and also august. high pressure, then combining in some very hot desert air from the southwest. it's going to move right into the bay area. that will give a temperature spread of 70s at our coastline to mid to upper 90s inland. with this near 100 degree heat expected, we have heat tips for you. seems like common sense, but even when it comes to being dehighway draited, most already are before they roles it. when you become thirtty, you are already dehydrated. some of the first signs, a dry mounl, fatigue and also feeling overheated.

water of course is crucial, up to eight glasses a day is the minimum. and you want to remember that spf 30 or higher, skin damage starts in less than ten minutes. so not quite the hottest day of the week as we head throughout tomorrow's forecast, but a lot of these areas will go anywhere from 3 to 5 degrees warmer. for thursday's forecast, right in between, not too hot, not too cal cool in san jose, 87 and sunny skies, 76 in san mateo, mid-80s across palo alto, san francisco will pop up to 70 and also sunny skies. on this next page, the north bay, east bay and tri-valley, this is likely where we'll find the hottest temperatures, not in napa or santa rosa, mid-80s there, tri-valley, 92 in danville, some of the hottest air with walnut creek at 94 degrees. as you look ahead towards the weekend and it comes to beach weather, looks like we'll have the mix, half moon bay will stay

on the cooler side where 67. if you want the beach weather, head to santa cruz with an expected 80 and the hottest weather inland, 96 to wr101. remember that water. just ahead here at 4:00, home sweet home in oakland. what happened today likely means the a's will continue to call the calcium home. and a homecoming canceled for a u.s. soldier. more fallout as the taliban releases video of his release.
