5:06 pm
dozens of others, forcing an emergency landing in thailand last year, turbulence on a lufthansa jet from texas to germany injured seven passengers and diverted the plane to virginia, though turbulence have always been an issue since the wright brothers, the european center for medium-range weather forecasts, looked at weather data over four decades. british professor paul williams announced the findings, saying i'll be explaining how climate change could cause a lot more turbulence on your flights in future, how your flight times could get longer because of changes to the headwinds and the tailwinds and how planes could find it harder to take off because of the warmer air, and even be struck more frequently by lightning. the study found that invisible, severe, or extreme clear air turbulence, especially over the u.s. and the north atlantic, were 55% more frequent in 2020 than they were back in 79, the national weather service says. clear air
5:07 pm
turbulence happened above 15,000ft, most frequently during the winter months. in a follow up study, the scientists predicted that turbulence in the northern hemisphere's middle latitudes could triple in the next 30 to 60 years, and back in 2020, a group of chinese based scientists essentially agreed. all of this is predicated on how much greenhouse gases are pumped into the atmosphere. but retired international airline pilot captain richard levy says the study doesn't make sense to him. >> the temperature at 35,000ft will be, make it simple about 30 to 35 degrees below zero four degrees. it's not going to make any difference. >> of course, the weather experts disagree with that, but that's the way it goes now. from 2009 to 22, the ntsb reported 163 serious injuries from turbulence. that's about one a
5:08 pm
month. now. that number will certainly come down as better detection methods already in existence are refined and more sophisticated radars. and they're coming. come online tom vacar, ktvu, fox two news, i guess it's an easy thing to do to keep that seatbelt on. >> tom. thank you. >> mold roaches and animal feces. just some of the allegations of unhealthy living conditions made by a south bay couple fighting what they call squalid conditions at their apartment. the landlord's family says this is an example of squatters taking advantage of an elderly woman who was trying to help. and now the city of san jose has launched an investigation. ktvu south bay reporter jesse gary live tonight at city hall with the story. jesse, good evening, mike. >> good evening to you. city officials concede it's common practice for people to alter their homes without getting the proper permits, all in an attempt to generate a little extra income on the side. the city does investigate when there's a complaint, and in this case, there are complaints, with
5:09 pm
each side pointing a guilty finger at the other multiple times a week. demetrio lopez martinez spends his days struggling to maneuver his wheelchair around valley medical center in san jose. some days he comes for kidney dialysis, others to see a chiropractor. for whatever the reason, martinez, who only speaks spanish, never goes home. in between appointments. >> some say the problems started like becoming noticeable right after we moved in cell phone video gives a glimpse of what demetrio and his wife, teresa elena alejandre, say they've dealt with since moving into this studio apartment on florida avenue in december 2020. >> two roaches under the cabinets, dog feces outside their kitchen window, no stove and no smoke or natural gas detectors either. all this renting for $1,650 a month. >> we rented this because we frankly didn't have another option on where to live, so that's why we rented it.
5:10 pm
>> they're low income, they're immigrants. they take what they can get. >> san francisco based attorney steven mcdonald is suing the property owner on behalf of demetrio and his wife. mcdonald says the landlord, ignacio marmolejo, illegally altered her home to include a studio apartment, then threatened the couple with eviction for reporting various problems. >> it's very common for a landlord who owns a single family home to try to augment their income by creating a separate unit when nobody's looking. >> it's i think it's ridiculous, a single divorced woman, senior citizen living on a fixed income that's dealing with squatters. basically, that's that's exactly what it is. >> by phone from san diego, alex marmolejo concedes his mother didn't get the required permits before creating the apartment, but he says these pictures prove it was in pristine condition when demetrio and his wife moved in. he says they're the ones that have created unsanitary conditions, then refused to
5:11 pm
leave and reported ignacio to the city as retribution when they never had an issue. >> everything was great for like the entire year that they lived there. no complaints from them about nothing. they never told us until the day when the city called my mom. >> the san jose building and code enforcement department says a code enforcement case was opened at the beginning of this year after the office received a complaint. the inspector found the unit is an addition to the home legally constructed in 1985. however, it was modified without permits to include a full kitchen, bathroom and bedroom with electrical and plumbing code. enforcement has ordered removing the apartment modifications or submitting applications for permits. >> the intelligent interpretation of that is i have to get my tenants out and do the work the city requires. however, the quick and dirty way is to force the tenants out immediately. >> and that, according to mcdonald, is why the couple has no stove. the marmolejo family says. and the city confirms there have been no fines for unlivable conditions at the
5:12 pm
apartment. >> i get it, he's handicapped. he has. but just because somebody's handicapped, just because you have something like that, doesn't mean you're the best person in the world. >> the couple remains in the apartment as the lawsuit moves forward. the marmolejo family says they believe that the whole process is tilted in favor of the renters. they're having a hard time finding a lawyer who will defend them. in this case, we're live outside san jose city hall this evening. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. mike, back up to you in. >> all right, jesse, thank you. >> coming up, israel facing global criticism following an airstrike that killed a number of civilians in rafah. the government's response as the offensive continues and college athletes may soon make a lot of money to play for their schools. >> all the information on the deal coming up. >> also ahead tonight, a new piece of public art coming together in san jose, a look at the progress on the very first day of the mural painting. >> and it did cool off a bit

>> all right, we'll take a look at the weather out there. it turned out to be a pretty nice day today. temperatures were generally a slight bit cooler than they were yesterday, especially at the coastal locations and around the bay when the fog came back. when the fog comes back, you get that environment, of course, where temperatures really cool off. let's take a look at the fog right here. and you can see that we've got let me load that up for you. and you can see we got fog right there along the coast. that fog is going to be around the next couple of days. that's the main mechanism for the cooling certainly. but we are looking forward to temperatures that will be up and down this whole week as we move through time. as you look at the wind speeds, the wind trajectories mostly out of the northwest, 17 miles an hour at oakland, ten miles an hour at concord, out of the west winds at sfo, obviously a little bit more. but so the plan really is going to be this whole week with this, this kind of spring like pattern fog at the coast nights and mornings, it will go away in the middle of the week. and when that happens, temperatures will come up towards the middle of the week.
5:19 pm
so as you see here, we've got 20 mile an hour westerly wind at sfo, 16 miles an hour, 60 mile an hour wind at mountain view. so so there is a computer model that shows where the fog is going to get or how far it's going to get inland tomorrow. and you can see it's got a tomorrow morning. it's got a pretty good push. look at that. so that's going to be a definite cloudy condition when you wake up tomorrow morning. like today. but then it burns off. take a look. burns off pretty quick and by tomorrow night it is gone. pretty much out of the out of our hair. with temperatures beginning to kind of moderate again. so this whole week is going to be about no rain kind of breezy conditions and temperatures that fluctuate. they're going to go down a little bit. they did today. they're going to go up a little bit tomorrow. they're going to go down a little bit. and then they're going go up on wednesday and thursday. i'll get more specific when i see you back here in a few minutes. all right. see you then. >> cue nba legend and hall of famer bill walton died today at the age of 71. coming up, we'll take a look back at his biggest achievements on and off the

day. we're going to have one of those go by. it's going to warm up. it's going to cool down. it's going to warm up. it's going to cool down. it's going to be that kind of a subtle change. and that those tweaks really serve to enhance or suppress or do away with the marine layer altogether. and that's why we'll heat up and warm down. so these are subtle changes all week. the some lightning up around bear valley, up in the west slope of the sierra nevada, and then all the way down towards bishop, you got some lightning and then you got fog along our coast. there it is. and there it stays. it'll go away tomorrow morning, but you can see a live picture of it now. and that fog is basically should be there, quite frankly, for a while there we had a couple of weeks there, you know, week, week and a half ago, a week ago we didn't have much fog at all, which is unusual for this time of year. but this is exactly what you expect, expect. and you got good air quality in on top of all this, there's one of the tweaks, if you will, low center right here and that's going to go through and that's going to disturb the marine layer to the point that it's going to allow it to heat up or
