Still ahead on abc7 news at 11, a possible shark attack at point rays tonight. Its leading to an all out rescue mission in the north bay. Were getting the latest from witnesses who were there for also the stress stress of Student Loans. Now back on as of tonight our abc seven iteam is digging into everything thing you should know welcome to big tobaccos fantasyland. A new, healthier World Without cigarettes. As long as you dont count the 6 trillion sold worldwide every year. And vaping wont lead to smoking, if you ignore the research that says otherwise. In big tobaccos fantasyland, the deadliest industry is your friend. Shh. Eating disorder battle and tsay madison talks her tumultuous climb to the top. Thats coming up this week at 1 p. M. Right here on abc seven. A man missing in the waters off the marin marin county coast is believed to have been attacked by a shark. The first 911 message came from Satellite Communications at 1030 this morning. Callers were at wildcat beach, north of bolinas, in a remote part of the Point Reyes National seashore. For there, a witness said a man was in the water with a group when a shark attacked him. Other members of the group managed to get out of the water. One ran to a camper who just happened to have a Satellite Phone which helped him bring this air medical chopper to the scene. There was it was a group that went up there for to celebrate someones wedding. And that it was someone with the group that went out into the water and got attacked. This is not a typical attack that weve heard of. So it does create some complicate options when you cant find someone in the water. Usually shark attack victims make it back to shore so they can be helped. Tonight, the Us Coast Guard tells us the search for the victim is ongoing. Tonight 28 Million People paying off their Student Loans are again being required to do so after a three year pandemic pause. Repayments are restarting tonight out along with all that interest, some borrowers in the bay area are bracing for a big financial hit. Iteam reporter stephanie sierra explains the projects and impacts across the state. Millions of californians are bracing for a dreaded deadline. Student loan repayments now back on the schedule starting today. For emily machado, it means a lot of adrenaline and just kind of frantic scrolling, like trying to understand the Us Supreme Court ruled against the Biden Administration plan to forgive loans to over 40 million americans, including up to 20,000 of debt for those who received a pell grant offered to low income families. So because i come from a low income background, growing up, i was a pell grant recipient, so i was eligible potentially to receive up to 20,000 in cancellation as opposed to the standard 10,000 cash isolation due to income thresholds that were set, which dont take into account where youre living. Machado got nothing, and like many in her position, shes still left struggling with inflation and the overall high cost of living in the bay area. Its certainly overwhelmed coming out of college to a large pile of money that that needs to be taken care of. Im just trying to get a better grasp on kind of what what i need to do. According to the Us Department of education, borrowers should log in to their federal student aid website to update any information and find out who your loan servicer is to explore repayment options. These include autopay or income driven payment plans. Economist bryce gill says the impact is really dependent on income. So, you know, for example, you look at the average payment that people are going to have to make, its about 300 for people with undergraduate degree, it goes up to about 500 on average a month. For someone with a graduate degree. But the Biden Administration has passed whats called the save plan. The save plan is an income driven repayment plan. The white house says borrowers who make more than 15 per hour and enroll are expected to save about 1,000 more per year, compared to other payment plans, according to the most recent report compiled by the Public Policy institute of california. As of 2020, us borrowers hold about 1. 6 trillion in federal student loan debt, and millions of californians are responsible for more than 142 billion of it. But the program is rolling out some help. Gill explains. Its the on ramp transition period which protects your credit if you have missed or late payments. Just remember its temporary, so youre not going to be able to, lets say, five years from now, keep missing payments. Right . And have your credit score not be impacted. So this is sort of a short term bridge, short term help for a long term check definitely will need to be a little bit more mindful of spending. Stephanie sierra, abc seven news. Joined right now by Spencer Christian, big week when it comes to being outside for the blue angels. What is it going to look like . We have fleet week warmth coming our way and its going to start tomorrow. Let me give you a look at whats happening right now, though. Remember the showers we had yesterday . They have moved well to our east, out over the great basin right now, as you can see on the satellite radar composite image, High Pressure is building in. And thats going to bring us a week of sunny skies and a week of warm weather and the wind right now is rather calm under clear skies, temperatures are dropping. You can see several most locations are several degrees cooler right now than at this time last night because with the clear skies, the daytime heating is able to escape. So heres a view from sutro tower looking out over San Francisco, where its 54 right now, 57 degrees in oakland. Mountain view, 59, 62 in san jose and mid to upper 50s or low to mid 50s, actually at palo alto and half moon bay. Nice clear view from emeryville looking across the bay 52 degrees right now. Both santa rosa and novato. We have upper 50s at Napa Fairfield and livermore concord 62 degrees. One final live view, beautiful one from our exploratorium camera. Looking across the calm bay waters toward the bay bridge. These are the forecast headlines. Mostly clear skies overnight. Sunny much warmer days through the week ahead and record near record heat is possible. Wednesday through friday. Overnight, we wont see much in the way of clouds at all except a little patch of some low clouds near the peninsula coastline by about 7 08 a. M. Overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the low to mid 50s. I mentioned temperatures will be dropping under the clear skies and then tomorrow, a mild day with high temperatures ranging from low to mid 60 at the coast to mid 70s around the bay shoreline to low 80s inland.
