Later today that will be a concern especially this afternoon and into the evening. Rainfall rates will be increasing. Here is the latest on the satellite and radar. A continuous stream of moisture pushing into Northern California and Central California as well. We have been tracking scattered rain showers across portions of the bay area all morning since about 4 00. There is some of the coverage.

San jose is not having as much coverage but that will be changing today. Storm two for today and friday will be heaviest for the coastal hills. We have a big rainfall range and significant rainfall toward the santa cruz mountains. At 9 00 am, 11 00 am, scattered rain virtually anywhere in the bay area. It could be picking up at 1 00. The main target time frame will be this afternoon and the evening hours. This will cause issues on the roads tonight. Once again we are talking about rain for your friday morning and for the weekend as well. Its tough to dodge the rain drops. The commute can be extra challenging. But remember this is good news. We need the rainfall. So far october has been very productive for us. Thank you very much. The commute could be bad this evening as you heard mark say. The rain will be moving in. Some areas that get flooded because they are below sea level is this area i circled here between say mill valley and central san rafael exit. It does tend to flood there. Really whenever we have rain its correlated with accidents. If you dont have to be on the road this afternoon, i wouldnt recommend it. Another thing to put on the radar which is monday, halloween, people want to be home early and there will be a lot of traffic that evening or afternoon trying to get home. Starting as early as 2 00 or 3 00. Its that one day of the year when people really want to be home. Chp hoping to wrap up a Homicide Investigation and reopen an on ramp to interstate 80 in richmond.

A Record Number of people have already voted in the november 8 president ial election. 37 states have early voting. So far more than 12. 5 million votes have been cast, much higher than the rate in the 2012 election. In San Francisco thousands of people have turned in ballots. Election officials started processing them yesterday. Those will be numbers announced as soon as polls close on election night. Early voting is a growing trend. The numbers of ballots going out is the highest we have ever issued. Weve got the most voters ever in San Francisco registered to vote. Weve got the most voters who have come at this point in the cycle to city hall to cast ballots. San francisco has one of the highest vote by mail percentages in the state. 60 of San Francisco voters cast ballots without going to the polls on election day. San franciscos elections director says he is experiencing a pretty big problem with the ballots when San Franciscos five page ballot is folded together and placed in the envelope, its too thick to fit into the processing machine. He is asking San Francisco voters to fold each page separately and then stack them together before putting the entire ballot into the envelope. That way individual ballots wont have to be processed by hand and that will speed up the election results. There are reports of a different kind of ballot problem in nevada and a few other states. Most people say things are going off without a hitch but one woman said while she was working on her ballot she heard the man in the booth next to her complaining about a problem. She said she decided to hold off on voting for now. He said that when he hit the Submit Button or whatever, everything shifted. It wasnt the same people that he voted for. It completely matched to everything that i marked on the ballot. There was absolutely no problems with that. Several other people said they had heard about problems but didnt have issues when they went to vote.
