peace, and you know that he'll find his way back to bodega bay. >> the vigil was to remember brother prasong. he was one of six people who went overboard when their boat capsized two weeks ago in bad weather. his body hasn't been found. if his soul is trapped here wandering in the ocean somewhere that i didn't want that you know, in my mind or in my heart. >> i wanted to find some closure and that he would find some peace and comfort so he can go on to the to the next journey of his life. >> songs. mother, wife and children took part in the buddhist ceremony. the family of three of the other victims were invited but did not participate. >> he's a really good role model to the family and to others that he meets. >> jonathan shang, tsung's nephew, spoke at the vigil. he says the community support has been important and impactful, especially since prasong was the family's sole provider. >> i just wanted like like i said, give my appreciation to

the people who came out here and also appreciation to those who also donated to support the families. the family here through their loss. >> two of the five bodies have been found. 13 year old prasong son was the only survivor. he made it to shore hours later by clinging on to a cooler. when you were praying. today was there a special message that you had for your dad that i'll be missing him? >> and he's his spirit lives in my body in bodega bay. >> anser hassan abc seven news. >> family members and friends are remembering a woman who died while in custody at the san francisco county jail. they held a candlelight vigil outside the jail to honor 22 year old amonte hadley. she was found dead in her cell back in september. hadley had been an inmate at the jail for two years, awaiting trial for robbery. now, grieving relatives say they're awaiting answers about what exactly led to her death. >> we're trying to pick up the pieces, but there's no pieces to pick up, you know, because we don't know what's going on. and

it's heart wrenching. it's heartbreaking. you know, we're missing a part of our family. >> inmates, family members wanted hadley moved from the jail to a mental health diversion program. but san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins opposed that change. the da said hadley was held in jail because of a safety risk. former olympic gymnastics coach bela karolyi has died. karolyi stepped away from the limelight after allegations of abuse of coaching rocked the gymnastics world. notably, he led nadia comaneci and mary lou retton to gold medals during his career. his cause of death has not been revealed, but he had been in poor health over the last few years. karolyi was 82 years old. now to on election news and what supporters called a victory rally for san francisco's prop k. the proposition permanently closes parts of the upper great highway to cars. the votes were 55% in favor, 45% against, but the

year. >> believe it or not, these scouts collected more than 28,000 pounds of food. the effort happening all across the bay area and in sonoma county. >> they struggle to get food. so it is it's good to help people. >> local girl scouts and nearly 200 volunteers are helping at the redwood empire food bank in santa rosa, collecting and sorting food donations. on this day of giving the food bank, they're also says the need for food assistance is increasing. >> and despite the scale of our operations, the demand for our services continues to grow at a rate that is outpacing the donations coming in to support us. >> scouts and a generous community doing their part to lend a hand this holiday in the north bay. cornell, bernard abc seven news. >> on the peninsula and unveiling for an interactive street art display in east palo alto. this is pretty neat. the event brought out families and the community to experience this tech to real life experiment.

clicked on a third party website. need tags.com, which provides dmv services but tacks on extra fees at checkout. when he realized his mistake, he called to cancel the order. he was shocked at the response. >> if you dispute this transaction, we will take legal action. it's not what i would expect from a reputable company. >> but what upset him more? allen found out need tags was not some rogue company, but a dmv partner. the dmv authorizes need tags and other vendors to sell dmv services and tack on as much as they want in extra fees. >> they're trying to make money. my problem is, why is our government enabling them? why is it officially sanctioned by the government? i don't understand the government doing it to their own citizens. >> it ought to be clearer and much more conspicuous. you are not on the government dmv website. >> consumer advocate robert harrell says the state should

require companies like need tags to post prominent disclaimers. >> we're not the dmv website and if we're being honest with you, you're going to pay a heck of a lot more. >> scores of californians posted complaints online and to seven on your side saying need tags led them to believe it's the dmv for one need. tags pays google to appear at the top of search results for the dmv. also, the need tags website says california dmv registration renewal in large type. it's not until checkout that consumers see the extra fees tacked on to their bills. >> the department of motor vehicles offers the same functions for nothing. why is there a need? >> tags need tags. owner eddie ellesmerian could not be reached, but he has told us the company is committed to transparency and the website shows fees before payment. we asked dmv director steve gordon about the surge of complaints about the dmv partner. gordon did not respond directly, but in emails to seven on your side, a dmv spokesperson said the need

tags website states it is not the dmv, but where there is some fine print there, but it's written in a font size that is considerably smaller than everything else on that page, and the page is designed to draw your eye to the other elements. as for hidden fees, the dmv said need tags does list them. but even if they knew about fees, consumers would have to scroll to the bottom of the website and click this button. it shows they will pay an extra $49 per car or $100 for commercial plates and an array of smaller charges on top of the dmv fee. >> i would argue that's a violation of california's upfront anti-drip pricing law. >> we asked the dmv is need tags violating the state's own ban on hidden fees. the dmv told us to contact the department of justice. >> that is pretty unconscionabl. and the state of california ought not be encouraging the very type of behavior that, if we see it in the private sector,

we would want to crack down on the dmv website is dmv dot a.gov. >> you can also go to our website abc seven news.com/7 on your side for help with issues like this. and other consumer problems. how's it looking out there, elise? >> well, it's definitely cool. we have a few clouds. a live look from santa cruz where the clouds will take over later on today, and a few showers, especially along the coastal hills. not a whole lot, but it's a level one, bringing us slippery roadways throughout the late afternoon and early evening hours, so we'll track that for you. and our first atmospheric river of the season on tap

to the next. did they even send my lab work...? wait, was i supposed to bring that? then there's the forms. the bills. the 'not a bills.' the.... ”press 4 to repeat these options.” [chaotic music] [inspirational music] healthcare can get a whole lot easier when your medical records, care and coverage are in one place. at kaiser permanente, all of us work together for all that is you.

out there. we have a few clouds and live doppler seven picking up on the rain to the north of us, a little piece of energy will be slipping south. the tail end of a system that will allow for a few showers later on. this

afternoon in the north bay, and then sinking south throughout the early evening hours. so we will be tracking that for you. and then a couple of dry, cool, breezy days to follow. here's a look from our sutro tower camera. we can see some of the low clouds and mid-level clouds. it is 47 downtown, 44 in oakland. it is awfully cool out there. 41 san jose with 37 in redwood city. and you can see the clouds here stacked up the golden gate bridge. 37 petaluma with 36. in livermore. fairfield just above freezing at 33. and there's the shark tank. so some sun today. showers later. monday is dry, but we're getting into gusty winds, so it will be quite cool. tuesday partly cloudy skies. and then as we get into the end of the week, more rain setting up for our first atmospheric river of the season. so coastal clouds will allow for not only a dry day today, but the bulk of the day. you won't really be impacted by the rain just later on. the scattered showers, mainly along the coast. we still have our coastal flood

advisory to pass along throughout the afternoon. the tide the high tide at 1126 6.89ft. so be advised of that and throughout the late afternoon early evening, this is when that front pushes on through. and that will allow for the slippery roadways. and then you combine that with the king tides for some minor flooding could get a little dicey out there. so throughout the day today notice that we have the cloud cover. the rainfall holding off here. this is 230 in the afternoon. so it's way to the north. and then as we stop this later on today at about 630, notice the rain showers pressing from southern marin onto the peninsula. the city, and then by 830 it is moving through san jose with probably 1/100 or 2/100 of an inch of rain. so rainfall totals throughout the day today won't be so much, and you'll see it will clear on out for your monday with those breezy winds into tuesday, some of those high clouds increasing. so the totals here, you'll notice the coastal hills picking up maybe over a

10th here around half moon bay. 5/100 san mateo, redwood city. and then as you head inland, less than that, only about 1/100. i'm going to show you two forecast models the wetter version. first, this is the european model that wants to bring anywhere from seven inches of rain come wednesday through late saturday into santa rosa. four and a half san francisco over three in the south bay. so this is that atmospheric river that's going to set up northern california and sort of wobble and stay in place for the second half of the upcoming workweek. this is the more conservative american model, 3.5in of rain to about an inch and a half san francisco, and maybe an inch in san jose. so way too early to call that, except for the fact that the second half of the workweek into saturday looking wet. cloudy skies, low 60s for you in santa clara, looking at 60 in fremont today, 63 in san rafael, upper 50s, half moon bay and the accuweather seven day forecast level one system with the showers later on today. sunny and breezy for your

monday. mix of clouds and sun on tuesday. and then you'll notice putting level ones there wednesday through saturday, but that could change. we are still pretty confident, though, that it's going to be a rainy second half of the workweek. >> stephanie. all right, lisa, thank you. it has been a busy weekend in college football. all three bay area teams played home games this weekend. here's abc seven sports anchor chris alvarez. >> good morning. the san jose state spartans with a chance to play spoiler in the new 12 team college football playoff last night, hosting number 13 boise state, who would be guaranteed a spot in the new playoff if they win the mountain west. but a spartans win. definitely going to throw a wrench in boise state's plans. mascot wars but at the end of the day, all those two are pals. all right, spartans up 14. nothing early on. going for it on fourth and three near the goal line. trick pass the lineman. but boise state was ready. make the tackl. turnover on downs. and this game was tied 14 all at the half. early third quarter. now walker egert rolling left and throws it only where nick nash can get it.

he has a touchdown in all ten games. nash does. leads the nation with 14 touchdown catches and is now the spartans all time single season receptions leader. 2114 lead boise state. though a likely heisman finalist, and ashton jeanty took over from there. tied at 21, breaks loose for a 36 yard score. his second of three total touchdowns finishes 159 yards on the ground. broncos run away with it and double up the spartans late 4221. san jose state will host unlv on friday. stanford. it's senior day down on the farm, hosting number 19. louisville cardinals trailed 3521 with six and a half to go. now down seven going for it on fourth and one justin lamson throws it up and it's emmett mosley. his third touchdown on the day ties things at 35 after louisville turned it over on downs. senior kicker emmett kenney lines up a career long 52 yarder for the win, and in his last play at stanford stadium, he'll never forget that cardinal upset the cardinals 3835. stanford scored 17 unanswered to win in miraculous

fashion in berkeley. fernando mendoza and cal trying to become bowl eligible. hosting syracuse. a lot of media people in the bay at this game rooting on the orange, including several from our own newsroom, bears down 13. nothing early. javion thomas, right into your living room 75 yards. it's the longest cal touchdown since 2021, and cal's down 13 seven. but the orange scored twice before the half. kyle mccord finding jaxon meeks, who finds the end zone. and it's 27 seven. orange at one point. but just a minute to play cal down 16 on the doorstep. mendoza to jonathan brady. touchdown. and the two point conversion. it's an eight point game but they need the onside kick to have a chance here. and they line it up and they do not get it. cal falls 3325. all five losses have been by eight points or less this season. up next a saturday 1230 kickoff for the 127th edition of big game in berkeley. if cal wins, they're

atmospheric river. >> yes. second half of the upcoming week is looking pretty wet and the focus will be in the north bay. but as for today, we have a level one system. it's a weak one. and allow for some scattered showers late this afternoon in the north bay, then along the peninsula coast, the coastal hills, the south bay, we have the king tides, rainfall amounts anywhere from a few hundredths in our inland valleys to about 13 hundredths. half moon bay. so it's something that will get the ground wet, and then we get into breezy, sunny conditions on monday. a mix of clouds and sun on tuesday and these level one systems could be increased to level two. but we are looking at wet weather for wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday with the focus in the north bay. but we're expecting rain all around the bay area right on through next saturday, and we know you'll be tracking it. >> lisa, thank you and thank you all for joining us for abc seven mornings. we'll see you back here at nine. have a great day.
