light, isolated showers, but the chances are very slim of the bay area receiving anything significant from this system. nonetheless, as we continue into tomorrow, you see a better chance of more stability in the atmosphere triggering a thunderstorm or two in our area, so there is a remote possibility we could get a couple of isolated thunderstorms. we are likely a certain way to get some measurable rainfall, some showers, so the rainfall estimates by 11:00 tomorrow night, we show, or about 1/100th of an inch to 2/100ths of an inch. it could began tonight, overnight, and the commute, and the outside chance of a thunderstorm. i will give you a closer look at this and the complete accuweather 7-day forecast a little bit later, kristin. kristen: all right. you can track the weather where you live on the abc 7 bay area app. we have the same live doppler 7 that spencer and our entire weather team uses.

kristen: you've heard stories about extreme turbulence on flights, and it seems like we are hearing them more and more -- you're right. julian: abc 7 news anchor spencer christian has more. spencer: all of us expect feel some of the effects of climate change, but we do not expect to feel those unsettling effect when we step onto an airplane. if you have fun at all, chances are you have experienced turbulence. a recent study that of the u.k. are suggesting that global climate change could be making those bumps more frequent and possibly more severe using satellite data, research from the university of reading estimates a significant type of turbulence has increased some 15% in areas along the earth's jet stream.

the question now, what is ahead for pilots and passengers? >> the studies are valid, but we need to do more experiments. for aviation and energy technology at san jose state using a tabletop vegetable -- wind tunnel and a heating pad, the professor gave us a look at what happens when it creates wind shear. >> you see turbulence as being created and their plane is moving up and down. as the earth is warming up, it heats up the air, therefore the air is going to go up. spencer: that can trigger what is known as clear air turbulence, unpredictable stretches of bumpy air at high altitudes, not caused by storms. fellow san jose state lecturer scott miller is also a working airline pilot with first-hand experience. >> those of the routes i tend to fly, the west coast to hawaii. in the four years,

increased. spencer: the flight simulator gives us a feel for what pilots experience. >> we are starting to get into some turbulent air. you can see the airplane is bouncing down around a little bit. spencer: captain miller is careful to point out variations in turbulence can be traceable to a variety of factors, but rising temperatures could be in the next. >> as the ground heats, it radiates that air, that hot air open to the atmosphere. those moving air currents develop the sheer. spencer: he says many pilots now employ turbulence tracking software to help pinpoint it between flight crews. but you may want to buckle in for some long-term researchers in the u.k. studies believe the frequency of turbulence along the north american jet stream could triple in the upcoming decades, depending on climate change. back in the lab, the professor says confirming the data is step

one, but if an increase in turbulence turns into a new reality for pilots and passengers, predicting its behavior could be critical. >> there are better predictions of what is going to be happening. the data is helpful, but we really need to analyze it carefully, to be able to come up with production models. spencer: models that could someday help smooth out the challenges brought by climate change. tell us that advances in artificial intelligence are making it easier for us to model the effects of patterns more precise. so this patterns more precisely will allow us to conclude the actual effects of climate change on airline travel. incredible technology. thank you, spencer. in the past week, we have shown you stories of people who think they are trying to help

animals by moving them or getting too close to take a picture. apparently that is happening more and more. according to the marine mammals center in sausalito, 27% of the patients in 2022 had to be rescued due to negative interactions with humans and dogs. the bay area is a hotspot for these problematic interactions, especially when it comes to seals and sea lions. >> i think people are actually loving these animals to death. unfortunately, without the expertise and training from folks like at the marine man will center -- marine mammal center, it usually results in more stress and harm. julian: people picking up seal pups in marin county was one of the biggest problems, and it is illegal, by the way. if you want to help, you can visit the marine mammals center. do not try to handle the animal or solve the problem yourself. now you know. kristen: from

kristen: step into another world with a master prop maker making magic in the bay area. bringing things to life. >> what it is i do for a living, i make props and costumes. once you get to the point where you have actually got the thing where you are a step into another world.

if i can make something look like it just walked off the screen, then mission accomplished. i grew up with "star wars" as a kid, so that was a huge influence. anything and everything science fiction, fantasy, all that stuff. i started doing more elaborate halloween costumes, and along the way, people asked me to make them stuff, too. it started as a hobby that has gotten way out of hand. in the last year, we've made things from movies, tv shows, for collectors to hang on the wall. every time i think i have a handle on what i do for a living, some other project comes out of left field, but it turns out we have the tools and skills to make it happen. making miniatures for bonsai gardens, like all of these things, it is something i never would have expected, but it turns out, yeah, we do that for a living, too. my name is sean thorson, and this is thorson and associates workshop, my proje

california. this is definitely where all the magic happens. there's a lot of juggling. we build things that are installations that are in stores, public art installations, thanks for collectors or fans you might see walking around at conventions, just all over the board. right now, we are doing some senior items for >> i wanted to make it a really cool, fun place that is different from what is in other stores you see today. shawn: the idea was of poison ivy started growing everything she wanted all over the place, so we are building a lot of vines and tree trunks to make it into her lair. once we had the plywood shapes and they would fit in place, they were covered with expanding foam. the next step was to shave it down into shapes that were more suggestive of the plants we are trying to make it look like.

once we've got it smoothed out, the next step will be primer and paint, and that will be the thing that makes it look real. . it is interesting because it is an historical building, so being as old as it is, there's no wall that is straight and no corner that a square anywhere. so it is a lot of kind of doing everything by field and by eye, so we have to make rough cuts of pieces and fit them in place by person and go back to the shop, fine-tune things, and back and forth. however much time you give me, it won't be enough. i will always find some way of making things better, more involved, detailed, accurate, whatever it is. >> it is absolutely fantastic. it ties into who the character is and what she does. i think shawn and his team did a really great job expressing that pit i'm so happy. so fantastic. [laughs] shawn: my whole life is to do something i enjoy doing with people i enjoy working with. i met a point where i found a really great niche i can fill,

and there is a rare week but i don't end up laughing to the point of tears with the people i'm working with. it's literally the funniest people i know pete at the end of it, we get to see things on screen or on stage or whatever that we are proud of. ♪ kristen: that is all for abc 7 news at 4:00. abc 7 news but as you get older, it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall.
