flood advisory until 5:00 this evening for san jose and santa clara, including san jose and milpitas as well. we have left over pockets of standing rain, you will want to watch out for that this afternoon and evening. more scattered showers through the rest of tonight, but they are going to be fewer and far in between as we head farther into the night, down to about a 20%-30% chance by tomorrow morning. not a 0% chance, but we will be mostly dry. we have had almost 2 1/2 inches of rain for ben loman, almost 1 1/2 inch in san jose , east bay, and santa clara valley. almost 1 inch in downtown san francisco as well. we'll take a look at the seven-day forecast foin ans in a election day is here, officially. a lot of your across the bay area and the

country mailed in your ballots over the past few weeks. now it's time for others to head to in-verse and voting at the polls. >> reed, good afternoon. as you suspected, a lot have turned in their mail ballots , as every registered voter in the area received one in the mail. there is a steady flow of voters coming to the polls. one center in san mateo, this is considered a voting center, because even on a day today , if you are not registered you can come to this center, register, and also vote in person. it's a lot easier to vote this year in california. entering the day, a little over 20% of the ballots had been received in san mateo county. we just got an update, that's now about 35%. and since implementing the voters choice acting model, where every registered voter gets a ballot

and choice to submit it, that way in-person turnout has been relatively light. for many who came to vote in-person there's a lot on the line in this political climate. >> this country is having a really hard time. what happened on january 6th is not okay. what is happening to veterans rights, elders rights, medicare, social security, that's not how we should be living in the world. we need to take care of each other. i know big business wants to say it's all about money, but it's not, because when he does not come before people. >> i wanted to get my ballot in the machine to see that it was tallied the way that i voted, just to be 100% sure. i work in high tech, and i know that sometimes things don't always work the way you want them to. with all the best intentions it does not always work. i am a due diligence kind of person. i like to make sure my ballot is tallied correctly. >> reporter: a lot of people we spoke with today say they

just want to make sure that their vote is counted, and that is one of the reasons why they voted in-person today. it's of course very difficult to estimate the final turnout , but officials here in san mateo county, based on previous elections and averages , expect final turnout to be somewhere in the ballpark of 60% or more. we shall see by the end of tonight st ters. and some, let's send it back to you. >> kenny, i have a follow-up question. the gentleman who said he wanted to see if his ballot voted and registering it scworked for him? >> reporter: so he was expressing a little concern about you know, just the security. he did not want to mail in his ballot. he said that was definitely not something he wanted to do. he felt like he has more confidence by coming here to

vote in-person. it's not a perfect system, according to him, but he still felt that was , that gave him a little bit more assurance that his vote was counted. he shared with me a few other details about how he thinks the system could be perfected. it's not a perfect system. but certainly he felt better than he came here in-person. >> and that the bafor it at da > it crucial for people to exercise their right to vote. >> everybody to get a legal vote and make their opinions noted, it's important. >> contra costa county is reporting one fourth of the mail-in ballots officials sent out have already been returned. that adds up to more than 177,000. so we want to check in
