FOX6 WakeUp News at 8 | July 27, 2026

With stories that matter to you, this is Fox six wake up news. Well, good morning everybody. Welcome back to wake up here at eight o'clock rob right on time. Yes. Hi. Welcome. Uh yeah, it's a really sticky day today. Uh trying to move very slowly as a result, right? Potentially a lot hanging out. A lot of moisture is hanging out in the air. You can kind of see it on some of the area cameras. North Lake cams a great example there. Of course, that's kind of boosted by the corn crop adding to that. And then here's another shot of some of the fog out of the slinger cam on the D. O. T. Network. Now the tower cam shows a bit of that as well. But the airport's actually doing pretty well with nine mile visibility. Air temperature is 79 2.74. So a lot of moisture in the air. But those two numbers are separated just enough so it's not too bad. Ah, there we go. The dense fog advisory has expired on schedule. It was set to expire at eight a.m. And it has done so now the last few hours we have not seen much in the way of thunderstorms at all. We were on watch for that. We're paying close attention because all the ingredients are there. We just didn't quite get the trigger to put it all together. Later today we may see a little complex here or some others that are popping, you know, look like that in our area as well. And so there still is that concern. We do still have an enhanced risk of severe weather across our entire viewing area. So if we do get storms later on today, they could be very, very strong to severe. So please stay weather aware. Despite this first round, not really happening at all. Southwest wind keeps delivering that hot and sticky air and then the wind shifts to the northeast tonight to change it all up. But in the meantime, we should get to near 90 and feel even hotter temperatures, mostly in the seventies, low eighties for the right end. And it's a mess for that ride in as we give you a live look at the Milwaukee area metro map. Now, some of these cameras like here on 7 94 coming over the home bridge. Pretty normal. We're seeing construction delays throughout the Milwaukee metro area. But a little bit south on the map is this the main problem spot of the morning. And we do have updated information on just what's causing this. So first of all, there is a full closure of 94 northbound at Drexel Avenue because of a crash early this morning. But the backups go all the way past Ryan Road. So if you're coming north on 94, this has been the issue. Now, as for the information, we just got this from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. Deputies responded to a vehicle crash about 4 30 this morning on 94 near Drexel Avenue in the northbound lanes. Now, as they were responding to that crash, it was reported that another crash happened when one of the canine deputies had their vehicle rear ended as the deputy was trying to close the lanes for that initial crash. So a bit of a domino effect here inside of that other car that hit the deputies squad car, a man, a woman and a small child who all remained at the scene. The deputy had non life threatening injuries, was taken to a hospital, though, for examination. The canine partner, by the way, also non life threatening injuries. A veterinarian examined and cleared that dog. Now, as for the freeway is still closed again, going northbound at Drexel Avenue on 94 traffic is being diverted off. There are major delays still. As soon as that gets open, this should hopefully get relieved. But for now, a mess on the south side of Milwaukee in the Oak Creek area. All right, Carl, thank you. Certainly explains his backup. This has been going on now for several hours, but we still can't explain what this is all about. Yeah, we're still seeing thousands of we energies customers who do not have power right now. 18,000. We energies customers are in the dark right now in Milwaukee County. We did reach out to we energies to try to figure out what's causing this. You know, as we know, typically outages air weather related. That doesn't seem to be the case here, so we'll keep you posted as we learn more. We also don't know yet how long it's going to be until the lights will come back on. But you cannot have your power restored unless you report it. So definitely give them a call. If you are among these customers who is not without or who is without power. Excuse me this morning. Okay, I knew this morning one person is recovering at the hospital after water rescue in Oak Creek. Emergency crews responded to Bender Park at around 6 45 on Sunday night. The victim had a serious injury and was unable to get out of the water. Rescue swimmers were able to get the injured person to a rescue boat. There's no word on that person's condition this morning. A 14 year old boy is dead after a crash saturday in Sheboygan. Police say the teen was riding an electric bike and witnesses tell investigators he ran a stop sign at 25th and Broadway and was hit by a car. Police say the driver did stay at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. A police officer and his father are recovering from serious injuries after a saturday morning explosion in Cedarburg. Just take a look here. This was the damage that was left behind. Michael Foger is a lieutenant with Jackson Pd. He also served as police chief in Newburgh for 10 years. Investigators say the blast appears to be accidental and may have been caused by a propane tank. A fundraiser has been set up to help this family. If you'd like to help, you can find the link on our website or on fox local. Really sad situation up there in Cedarburg. Hopefully they're not early in person voting for the august primary starts tomorrow. This is we're also learning about another union that's backing one of the top democratic contenders. Again, this is where the governor's race are. Stephanie cork is live in our newsroom with the latest and step. All of this is coming as a new Marquette University Law School poll is set to be released this week as well. And this one we hope is a little bit more reflective of the current state of this race. Yeah, absolutely. Good morning. And that poll could just give us a better look at where things stand following a number of shake ups, particularly in the democratic race to replace Governor Tony Evers. All of this at the same time, Fox six is learning that the United Auto Workers Wisconsin State Council is endorsing Mandela Barnes. Now U. A. W. Region four director Brandon Campbell sent a statement to Fox six is political reporter Jason Calvi. It reads in part quote Mandela has always been on the side of unions and working people. He walked the picket line with us and fought with us against plant closings. Now Barnes tells Fox six he's honored to have the U. A. W. S. Backing saying that his father's membership in the union helped open the doors to a lot of opportunities during his middle class upbringing. The endorsement comes as other unions have also gotten involved in the race for governor on both sides of the aisle, really on the republican side of the race for governor. Tom Tiffany is backed by the Milwaukee Police Association and the Milwaukee Deputy Sheriff's Association. But aside from endorsements, we're also expecting to get a better picture really in the race for governor with that new Marquette Law School poll that's set to be released Wednesday. As for the most recent polls results, you're looking at those results that said, as you mentioned, Nicola Marquette surveyed voters before Crowley reentered the race with the backing of Governor Evers and before Sarah Rodriguez dropped out amid a financial scandal. So you could see Rodriguez was in this poll and Crowley was not. That said, it showed that the majority of voters on the democratic side of things in the race for governor remained undecided. Meantime, tomorrow night, democratic candidates will also take this stage at Marquette University for a debate ahead of the primary election day, which again is on august 11th. So just about two weeks from now, guys. All right, Steph, thank you so much. And hey, speaking of early in person voting, which begins tomorrow, there are six sites that are going to be open for that in the city of Milwaukee. The times do vary by location. So just make sure that you check your polling place before you go. Also, don't forget to bring a photo I. D. And a reminder that you can register to vote at the polls. You just have to bring a proof of address. Something like a utility bill will do just fine again. Election day itself is on august 11th. Well, the countdown to football season is almost reached its end. I know this is so weird. Okay, the Packers are back up in Green Bay this week. Coming up, we are looking ahead to the start of training camp and all of the beloved tradition that come along with it. Meanwhile, still midway through baseball season here and the Brewers are rolling at least when Mizorowski is on the mound. We'll tell you how the Brewers ace added to his Cy Young resume and show you his record setting performance to start off this game against the Rocks. Oh my gosh, it was so much to look forward to. We need lots of coffee to get through all the summer fun. And that's where brian cramp comes in. He's got a spot in Wauwatosa where they're really getting creative with your morning cup of java. Yeah, beautiful. I'll tell you what, and it's a beautiful spot. They're very creative to seasonal drinks here. They got them, you know, it's different from fall to winter to summer and Daniel and her team got some amazing drinks. They want you to try. We're gonna see what they're serving up here at idle coffee roasters in Wauwatosa. But up next on Fox six wake up and a live look outside at N. K. E. Probably a little quieter there than it was over the weekend, helping out with the air show. Of course, it was a fun couple of days, even without the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds in town loving those jets. Fox six wake up news Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show two outs in the first minute trying to strike out the side and then we'll do it again in the second inning and almost do it again in the third inning. It was history for Brewers ace Jacob Mizorowski on sunday dominating the lowly colorado Rockies says he set a franchise record by striking out the 1st 7 batters to start the game. He also broke his own record for the most 100 mile per hour pitches in a single game. Since pitch tracking began back in 2008, he topped 100 or more on 66 of his 83 pitches. Just sensational. I bet he's not even sore today. Yeah, it was effortless. At least that's how it appeared on the map. You're right, makes it look easy. All right. Uh, I mean, a linebacker riding a trike doesn't exactly look easy to me, but we do it every year because this is how we start training camp. Yeah, another football season kicking off in title town this week. Packers players are arriving today for training camp up in Green Bay. The first practice is on Wednesday. Now these practices we should mention are free and open to the public. You got a free afternoon, you want to go see the players in action. Definitely head on up there. Kids are encouraged as well to bring their bikes for players to ride on the way to the practice field. It's one of the best traditions in football, right? Sure is. All right. Lambeau Field speaking of is going to be packed with fans today. Not for a game, of course, but for the annual shareholders meeting that starts at one o'clock. It's the first shareholders meeting for new team president and Ceo Ed Policy who took over for retiring Mark Murphy. So kind of a new era in Green Bay changing of the guard. All right, we're sticking with our chief here. Uh, the Fox six studios is Rob Haswell has a look at the weather. This is the day we kind of targeted for a while. It was a pretty good weekend. All in all, we knew that their possibility of storms was out there for this morning. Yeah, I was so grateful. I had a friend in town and I was just glad that it wasn't smoky or it wasn't too hot. Milwaukee shined for you. It sure did. It sure does. Okay, we're waiting for Rob here. He's gonna be here. It did. She called vamping stretching. You guys are doing a great job giving you my weekend plans. I get worried about that. It's good. No, you guys doing a great job. I will take it from here, but I am going to be in a different location. I'm going to be down here in the office, just kind of keeping an eye on things. But I appreciate you stalling. It's always good when you've got a team that can cover for you. It is covered as far as the low cloud and fog. When we take a live look from the tower cam right now at across the city. And wow, that fog has been very thick at times this morning as we switch over to take a look at one of our D. O. T. Cams. It's gotten a little better actually, but the slinger cam obviously isn't looking great either. Neither is the North Lake cam. Visibility is down to a mile or less in some spots. So do watch for that. The advisory has ended, which I'm happy to report, but we'll be watching now. There isn't much happening in our neighborhood. There is a little complex of storms, somewhat small, but it's up there in the northern Wisconsin. We'll see how that tracks. If it starts to dive a little farther south, that could be our trigger for the midday into the afternoon. So it bears watching and it also bears watching because there's just so much going on in the atmosphere for the day today until that cold front finally clears. All right, let's go look ahead with Sky Vision Plus. We'll show you tomorrow's weather today. There it goes. And you can see that we're good to go for the short term, but that potential is still in the atmosphere. And by this afternoon, this evening, things really start to pop again, finally kind of settling down through the late evening and overnight tonight as that cold front clears the area. Now the wind picks up tomorrow from the northeast. That's going to whip up the waves and give us a beach hazard statement for Tuesday on through Wednesday morning. Big waves, likely strong current. So just kind of stay out of the water. Today's numbers. Yeah, way up into the upper eighties and low nineties and then dropping into the sixties and seventies overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. That dew point drop will take some time, but it'll eventually get here and make things feel a lot better. Look at that. We go from 76 for a dew point down to the low sixties. I'm gonna need that break. All right. So the question is, will we get any more storms? First round never really happened. Didn't materialize in any big way. Second round doesn't look like it's gonna happen on the Fox weather model either. But the more traditional Sky Vision plus model does have things starting to pop again in the afternoon and evening before finally settling down. So again, the key word here is potential with a lot of heat, a lot of humidity, everything you need to build strong storms. And that's why we're under an enhanced risk of severe weather for the day today. Better to be prepared, not have it happen than the other way around Tuesday. Happy to say that map clears right out. All right. Our Fox six day planner then does get a little sticky at times today. That's a for sure thing. The fog is still lingering, which should start to clear. And then the question is, how many storms, if any, pop later on today? High near 90. We dropped to the low to mid eighties and even cooler lakeside Tuesday and Wednesday. Much more comfortable dew points only to get back to 90 on Thursday. Then we drop again to low eighties Friday and Saturday. Our homes hold the story of our lives and renewal by Anderson Windows. They're built to be there with you through every chapter. They treasure the small moments, the ups and downs life gives us. They're there. Start your next chapter with windows that last Fox six. Wake up news. Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to wake up. So today is Monday, but it's also National Scotch Day. I was waiting for Carl's got my attention. I do now. So, hey, we're early last night. Celebrate early. All right. It's gonna say, I don't know where our third shifters are. I know you're out there, but it might be something for you to imbibe in. Well, from classic rear round favorites to seasonal concoctions, building a standout coffee menu takes a lot of creativity, and the folks at idle coffee roasters know that all too well. That's where our brian cramp is this morning. He's watching their team craft their signature cocktails, and I've got to say, cramp their house plant game is also very strong. I'm impressed. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I mean, this is just level one. You go up to level two. I mean, they probably have another 50 plants here. It is a strikingly attractive place. And I have to say that, you know, with parents as owners, you're gonna probably be in the industry and you've been. You've been in and out for six years. What is it about coffee? That is just so much fun to be a part of all this. Well, I grew up and mine was in coffee since I was a baby. I think longer than I've been alive. She's been in coffee, so it was always just something that was around the house. My house always smelled like coffee. That was like what my friends would tell me growing up. And yeah, I don't know. Then I just kind of jumped in with my mom at 16. I really like all the sciency aspects of coffee, and it's a lot more intricate. I think some people would think so. I'm really interested, you know, and you learn to as you go on. You know, Daniel over here is taught many people how to how to crack those beverages. She's making one of the seasonal drinks right now that we're gonna see in a bit, too. You know, and Nicola said something about the space. It is stunning. Overall, downstairs, upstairs. I know that you guys and the family put in so much time to make this exactly the way that you wanted it. But that's how the drinks are made, too. You know, as we as we saw, you know, making that drink and then back over here, we have one of the specials that you can find. What is this? This one? Yes, this is a sunrise tonic. It is in our summer menu. It is really great because with our espresso, we used Uganda beans primarily. It's a blend, but it's the bigger part of the blend, and they're very citrusy, very bright. So what we did was we tried to combine flavors that would mix well with the espresso. So it's lemon syrup, orange juice and grapefruit seltzer with espresso, which I think sounds intimidating to a lot of people. But this drink is fantastic. It just really plays off those flavors in the espresso. Pretty refreshing, too, for a summer drink. And you're flipping those over when fall hits as well. So about four times a year, the seasonal drinks will change out for you guys. You have a standard menu, as you can see here, too. We open at six o'clock. The crowds kind of different from day to day, but you guys have seemed to have a solid flow of people from day one back in October of last year. What do you attribute that to? Um, well, part of it, I do think is my mom. She's really worked hard over the last 25 years to build a name for herself in this industry, and a lot of people were really excited to come see what she's done. But I mean, we have so many people here who are so passionate about what they do. Um, Daniel, everyone in the coffee industry in Milwaukee, I think knows her. They've probably all been trained by her. That's funny you say that, too, because also Mickey back in roasting, you know, he's been in the industry for the past 27 years. So you have some depth to the team as well. Yeah. Do you have a favorite drink on the menu? I will say my favorite drink on the menu at the moment is probably the salted coconut, which is this one right here. It is really delicious. I feel like the coconut cream. It's just so good on top of the cold brew. Well, that one's yours. I'll grab this one. We'll cheers to you guys and coffee roasters here. 64th and North Avenue. While we're toasting guys open since October of last year, we can see just a small portion of why so many people like it. Love it. Come in here daily. Maybe you should to hear more. Wake up from Fox six. Coming back after the break, guys. That's fancy face, too. It's huge. Oh, I know. It reminds me of like the black and tan. Yeah, I was talking about the coffee. You were talking. I'm talking about the restaurant. You were talking about drinking different kinds of brews. Okay, we can be alive. The clouds have set in. They're not going anywhere anytime soon, and there's the chance for severe storms this morning and the rest of the day. Rob staying on top of it. We're out. Wake up. Fox six. Wake up. News. Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to wake up. It's a real steamer out there on the weather deck while you can, right? Yeah, I mean, I'm probably not gonna be here very much longer. It's very sticky. The heat and humidity continue to be an issue today, and they're the key ingredients to building strong storms. So while we didn't really see a morning round of severe thunderstorms, we may well see around later on today still. So let's start off with a live look at some of that low cloud of that haze hanging out over the city right now. It's 79. Look at that dew point sitting at 74. Dense fog advisory expired on time at eight a.m. But there are still pockets of fog out there this morning. Now, here's what we're keeping an eye on. You see these complexes of storms, small though they may be, they're starting to drop a little farther to the south. So we'll wait and see if that can be a bit of a trigger. We'll track that cold front as well as it drops down. And if that digs into this hot and sticky air, it could easily get another round of storms going this afternoon and into the evening hours. But for now, pretty good. The later we go in the day, the more potential there is for some strong storms. We do have that enhanced risk. Biggest threat with this will be the strong straight line wind, large hail, heavy downpours, and there is a tornado threat with that as well. Southwest wind just keeps feeding us this heat and humidity today will climb up into the upper eighties near 90 and feel even hotter than that. All right, guys, I actually have a good traffic update this morning. Yeah, take a look at this 4194 Ryan Road. Cars are moving. We love to see it after a backup that lasted several hours this morning because of kind of a chain reaction crash situation. I am pleased to report that all the lanes are back open and cars are moving nice and smoothly through the Oak Creek area. Um, all morning long we were reporting just really horrific congestion because because of not just one but two crashes that were caused by the Ikea or caused near the Ikea. Excuse me. The Ikea had nothing to do with it. It was not open yet. Um, okay. The people of Sweden are like, Whoa, catching strays over here. We're a building. You know, I'm sorry. I meatballs are really good on to our big story in the morning where things are heating up and not in the meatball department for the candidates in the race to replace Governor Tony Evers. Early imposing person verdict voting. Wow. Begins tomorrow. Trying to get our cars back on the track here. All right. At the same time, Fox six is also learning about another union that's backing one of the top contenders in the Democratic race for governor. We know that is a crowded field of candidates here are Stephanie Quirk is in the newsroom with more on that stuff. Hey, good morning. Yeah, Fox six is learning that the United Auto Workers Wisconsin State Council is endorsing Democratic candidate for governor Mandela Barnes. You A. W. Region four director Brandon Campbell sent a statement to our Fox six political reporter Jason Calvi. It reads in part quote Mandela has always been on the side of unions and working people. He walked the picket line with us and fought with us against plant closings. Now Barnes tells Fox six he's honored to have the U. A. W. S. Backing saying that he will fight for working families in Wisconsin. The endorsement comes as other unions have also already gotten involved in the race for governor on both sides of the aisle. Now, on the Republican side of things in the race for governor, Tom Tiffany is backed by the Milwaukee Police Association as well as the Milwaukee Deputy Sheriff's Association. Aside from the endorsements, we're also expecting to get a better picture really of the race for governor with a new Marquette Law School poll to be released Wednesday. You're looking at the results of the most recent poll and this was released last week. That said, though, Marquette surveyed voters before Crowley re entered the race with the backing of Governor Evers and before Sarah Rodriguez dropped out amid a financial scandal. So you could see that Rodriguez was in the poll and Crowley was not. Now that poll also showed 45% of voters are undecided on who to choose among the Democratic candidates in the race for governor. Again, that new poll is set to be released this Wednesday. Carl Nicola stuff. As we know, a lot of times unions have a tendency to throw in their support for candidates specifically or usually on the Democratic side. Can you talk about some of the other unions that have gotten involved in this race here for governor? Yeah, to name a few, the Wisconsin's Labor's District Council as well as the professional professional firefighters of Wisconsin have backed Crowley. Um, on the hand, on the other hand, for Francesca Hong, Democratic Socialists of America, Milwaukee and Madison have backed her. Roy's also has an endorsement from the Statewide Teachers Union. And there's also some political figures like Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett backing other candidates. So for Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, former Milwaukee Mayor, that is Joel Brennan is who he is endorsing. Okay, step. Thank you. One of the other big stories in the morning outages for we energies customers as the crews are out trying to restore power to thousands of people, specifically in Milwaukee County. And this is a live look at the numbers where still more than 18,000 customers are without power in Milwaukee County. Most of that in the city of Milwaukee specifically. Now we did reach out to we energies trying to get some kind of information on what's happening here. They sent us a statement saying, quote, crews are in the area investigating the cause of the outages. Once the cause is identified, they will work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. But that means A. C. Units and the like off for a lot of people on the hot morning. Yeah, rough day for it for sure. All right. A man charged in a fatal hit and run in Oconomowoc is expected to take a plea deal and learn his sentence later on today. I think we got video to show. We show you here. Here we go. Prosecutors say Matthew Brennecke hit 87 year old Al Amy last summer, then took off. Brennecke allegedly then tried to hide his car under a camouflage tarp in the woods. A truck driver is facing a list of charges after a series of hit and run crashes in Wauwatosa. Police say a 911 caller said they were side swiped by the driver going the wrong way. That truck then crashed into another car, seriously hurting the other driver. The driver of the truck actually ran away, but officers later arrested that person. It has been more than three decades since lawmakers passed the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Our Donovan Long joins us from the Lime Center with the way our community will honor the impact of that legislation later this morning. Hey, good morning you two. Yeah, the A. D. A. Was groundbreaking when it became law. Want to give you a live look real quick over the White House now where President George H. W. Bush signed the A. D. A. Into law 36 years ago. So members of Independence first along with the city of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County and visit Milwaukee will host the celebration to honor the law's rich history. This event will be today from 10 to 1 at Independence first. It's located at 5 40 South First Street. So organizers say they will bring together community leaders, disability advocates and public officials to recognize this landmark civil rights law. Now we expect to hear from Milwaukee County Mayor Cavalier Johnson. I'm sorry, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson Fire Chief Aaron Lipsky and the Milwaukee County Director of Health and Human Services. Among so many other leaders in our community, there will also be a resource fair illustrating how different organizations have helped people with disabilities navigate their community more easily. And Carl and Nick, what's really cool here is people who head out to celebrate today will have the chance to experience different technology for people with disabilities tour a sensory room and be part of solutions that will ultimately help their fellow neighbor live more comfortably in the city. A landmark changed the way we live lives here in America. For sure. All right, Donovan, thank you. Okay, we're gonna go to the west coast now where we are following a developing story out of Seattle this morning. One person is in custody and police are still searching for another suspect after a deadly shooting sunday night at a food festival. We know that at least three people were killed as several others were hurt here, including a two year old child. I was about to grab me a boba from the boba stand. I heard about, I'd say close to 12. Um, sounded a little bit like firecrackers at first. People started getting a shooter shooter and there was like a stampede of people just running, knocking down a lot of products from the vendors. This was in a park that surrounds the Space Needle, a really popular festival. Police believe two people were shooting at each other and the victims were all caught in that crossfire. After nearly two weeks of fighting, the U. S. Paused attacks on Iran for a second straight night. The Wall Street Journal reports President Donald Trump has put off a major escalation of his military campaign to revive diplomatic efforts to open the Strait of Hormuz. There's also reportedly been debate over the impact of dwindling munitions stocks for the U. S. We have a look at where gas prices stand this morning and according to AAA, the national average is around 4 11 for a regular gallon of gas in Wisconsin. The statewide average is 3 88. That's up more than 20 cents from a month ago when we were seeing a decline. Finally, all right, Carl, it's a big day in Detroit. The Gordie Howe Bridge is slated to open to traffic for the first time at noon today, bringing a new crossing between the United States and Canada lawsuits, a trade war and a pandemic delayed construction for a year. So this is really a big moment for the city of Detroit. The crossing includes a six lane tollway and a footpath that pedestrians and bikers can use for free. Look sharp. I think with the pedestrian traffic that we'll spur a lot of interest. People will want to come over and have that experience of crossing the bridge. Canada held its own ribbon cutting friday after pulling out of a joint ceremony with the United States. Last week, President trump announced a new 50% tariff on certain Canadian goods. Well, let's call this a misfire at a postgame fireworks show at a minor league baseball park in Virginia. A malfunction caused the fireworks to launch around the stadium, which sent fans they're running for cover. You hear some laughs in some of the videos. So hopefully the people were still able to take this in stride. No one was seriously hurt. The team says from now on, fireworks will be lit off site. A concept. I can imagine if you're a fan in those stands, you're sitting there like, oh wow. And then you're thinking, is that supposed to happen? That seems a little too close for comfort there. A little too much smoke. It is time to get you set up for Fox six. Wake up at nine. Yeah, as we energy falcons are practically celebrities around here, especially this year because they're named after our very own. But it wasn't always that way. So we're gonna go introduce you to the man behind the falcon conservation effort program. What a journey that's been. Actor Tom Holland is quite busy right now, promoting not one but two huge summer blockbusters. He gives us a peek behind the curtain about what he really thinks on press tours. Oh, the internal dialogue. But before all that, Brian cramp is getting a good cup of coffee this morning. Nicola, you talked about the plants downstairs. I'm showing you the plants upstairs. This is the second level here in Wauwatosa. Idle coffee roasters. Look at this space. Absolutely stunning. They're helping the community as well. Ways that you can get on board with idle coffee roasters to help your nonprofits coming up next on Fox six. Wake up. Good morning, everybody. Taking a live look here at M. K. E. Kind of a tough conditions today. I'm grateful that all of the fog that's going on right now wasn't here for the air show over the weekend. Even yesterday, though, it's pretty cloudy outside. Yeah, sunday show saturday a little clear. I got a little smoky to the upper levels for as well. So today is still a little bit of fog out there with the advisories over and we didn't get hit with that first round of severe storms. So we'll take that as a win. I know we need the rain. That's not how we want it. We don't want a month's worth of rain in a day. Doesn't mean we're out from under the threat, though. Let's start off with the fog. You're still a little bit out there. The advisory has ended, but obviously there's still some pockets where it's a little thicker, particularly in south central and southeastern Wisconsin. Right now, the worst is up around, uh, well, actually, it's walkish on now was juno, but now it's bumped up to a mile and a quarter. But either way, you are still seeing some areas where it is a bit of a challenge now. Also watching what's going on here to our north. Yes, this morning never really materialized. All the ingredients were there for the storms to fire up. Just didn't get the trigger we needed, and we're okay with that. We don't want to cheer on severe weather. Now, as we zoom in, though, you'll notice little complex just north of Rhinelander right now. Not severe at the moment, but it's impressive, and we're going to continue to watch it because if you notice in the last little while here, it's been a little bit more of a southerly drift. This was almost all southeast and now drifting a little further south. So as that drifts down, we may start to see some triggers pop up in our area for a little later on this afternoon, maybe even into the early evening. We've got all the heat and humidity out there to feed this. We just need that trigger to get it to go. And that cold front is it drops down might be part of that as well. Once we're behind it, though, it's going to feel so much better. Let's go check it out on Sky Vision Plus. Now, short term here, southwest wind, no present trigger. But as we get into the afternoon and evening, things could start to fire up, and all it takes is a couple of these to get to severe criteria for it to be a problem. Obviously, that looks to be the case even on into the 89 o'clock hour, and then we should start to settle down, and it won't be everywhere. It might be somewhat more isolated than we expected, but those storms could be very strong, possibly severe. Once the cold front clears, we're into some cooler, far less humid air, but a strong northeast wind kicks in throughout the day to whip up the waves and create a beach hazard statement. Now, this starts for Tuesday and runs right through until Wednesday at 10 a.m. So just kind of stay out of Lake Michigan temperatures today, way up into the nineties. Then we'll drop back down into the sixties overnight tonight. That cold front is going to have an impressive impact on our area, and it will eventually drop the dew points as well. You see the very sticky numbers most of the day, even into the evening, but overnight into tomorrow, we'll get down into some low sixties. Just going to feel much more comfortable by comparison. All right, so the potential right versus the actual. Obviously, we had the potential without actually achieving anything this morning. Fox weather models still doesn't have much going on for this afternoon this evening, so it is possible certain model runs really don't have anything materializing. And again, given how strong these storms could become, that's probably fine. We'd like a nice, gentle rain, please. But that doesn't seem to be on the menu for the day today. The more traditional Sky Vision plus model does have things popping up this afternoon and this evening, and so we will still be watching for strong to severe storms. The Storm Prediction Center in Oklahoma does have us under that enhanced risk. That's a three out of five in the threat scale, and that is a significant concern. Because if things do pop strong, straight line wind gusts in excess of 70 miles an hour can cause some extensive damage, and that's the main threat with this large hail. Also a concern. Heavy rain also a concern with all this moisture. Just looking for a place to go. And yes, there is a tornado threat with this as well. So we will be watching very closely. Then we get to clear the slate as we look ahead to our Tuesday. All right, our Fox six day planner looking at 90 today with that second round of storms ending up being the only round of storms. But we'll still be watching later on today. Then mid eighties, but low eighties lakeside lower dew points. Very comfy days Tuesday, Wednesday, back to 90 Thursday, back to low eighties Friday, Saturday, up and down and up we go. Okay, his competitive spirit always kept him reaching for the crown, and in doing so, he helped his team's break school records in multiple sports all while living up to a speedy nickname. That's why this kid is our Fox six high school hot shot. Carol McCullough medics. I went to my high school and I'm a multi sport athlete. Okay, so at one point I played seven sports, but going into high school, I ended up playing five sports. I was on rushing for football. I was on rushing for baseball, track, wrestling, and I think that's it. Nickname is Turbo. I got it when I was four years old. So my brother is playing football, and after the game, somehow the ball came in my hands. So I was running around and nobody catch me. So the coach is like, I'm gonna name you Turbo because nobody could catch you. Turbo takes this one. He had a touch. I mean, in, like, freshman year, I was small. I was 4 11 96 pounds going to junior year. I was high one forties and I got tall. It's like 56 at that time. Senior year. I still have something to prove. First game on a new turf field. They had, like, a mesh routes that came through in the quarterback for my way. So I jumped it and I have the opportunity to score a pick six and truly be the first touchdown on a new turf field. This track season, we made to stay for the four by one, and we ended up being state running ups. We start off the season running 43 9. They have that 43 7, then 43 1 42 9. The estate, the prelims day, we ran 42 2. Then final day we got second running 42 3. My senior year, I remember exact moment. I have my head down, eyes closed. When they called my name, it was really cool knowing that the last dance of my high school career I won. That's that's really cool. I actually have pictures and crowns and my prom court. My name is Jekyll McCullum Maddox. I'm a senior graduate. I'm wrong with the high school, and I'm a three sport team captain on this week's Fox six high school hot shot to Fox six. Wake up news Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Let's look outside. Nice to see the skyline there and nice to get a little bit of relief that we weren't necessarily expecting when it comes to severe storms this morning. The possibility kind of broke our way in one side of things, but we'll let Stephanie Barkello explain that and what could still be coming in the six day forecast starting at nine o'clock. Well, great coffee isn't just for the cafe. It can also power your office, your workplace, help local organizations raise money as well. Brian Cramp is that idle coffee roasters in Wauwatosa with details on their wholesale lineup, the community fundraising they do. And let me just say this space is huge and beautiful. Looks amazing inside. Yeah, I mean, really is Carl to it. Once we got to the second level up here, I was just just in awe of how to set up. I mean, there's plenty of space for people to sit down. It's a communal space. You know, it's decked out. You have beautiful plants, beautiful furniture. And then, of course, there's the coffee, which keeps people coming back for more. But it's not just here. You want your reach, Dave, to be out in the community as well in which you're doing successfully. How so? Well, we have a great coffee fundraising program where we partner with area organizations, nonprofit sports teams could be club could be wrecked, could be high school, middle school, grade schools, you name it. And when they've got a capital project coming up or a trip to Europe or Canada or even within the United States, how can we, you know, help raise some money to pay for that project? I gotta I gotta be honest. Sometimes pizzas are a little bit much. You know, I want to. I want a good bag of coffee that's locally produced as well, too. And you guys do exactly that. I mean, you guys source the beans from all over the world. You guys roast the beans here. You bag the beans. Now we can get the beans either a whole or ground. Yes. So we've got a few examples of bags that we sell. Yes. So we have our fundraising sell sheet that the kids hit the streets with. That describes has a few different coffees. We've got our espresso blend, our dark roast, which is glow in the dark are providing. We've got something for everyone. We even carry a decaf and then the kids track their sales on the selling sheet. And so for every bag of coffee that they sell, they keep a very large percentage of the profits to then pay for their trips. And that's the part right there that you're reaching. So this this is for you said kids going out there, but also nonprofits, nonprofits as well. Yep. So it could be any faith based organization. It could be, you know, any, you know, shelter or anything like that. I got a question for you. How can I get this coffee at Fox six? Well, I could deliver it to you too. We are in the process. I'm just teasing it a little bit. Uh, idle the office. So another blend that we would make specifically that we're going to make specifically for sort of like the crowd pleaser at the office. And so, you know, we have wholesale clients that go online in order. They also email text me direct and we roasted up to order. We roast on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Not sure if you mentioned that before. I'm sure that there's probably a way for you guys to make a wake up blend, right? I like that private label to come up with some great ideas. Your team is phenomenal. Just seeing them work together is amazing and I can't wait to actually try some of the coffee, which we're gonna be doing in a little bit. What makes this special for you as one of the founders? It's two families coming together. It is. Um, it really gives me goosebumps just talking about like using a great place like idle to bring people together and build community and like elevate coffee in a way that makes it accessible in the coffee education. And so, you know, having spent a lot of time in Wauwatosa, it's like just even seeing some of these bags of coffee at grocery stores to is very surreal. Awesome. Good for you guys too. And it's not done in a pretentious way at all, which I definitely appreciate it. We have more from idle coffee roasters this morning here. Fox six wake up guys. I don't know which one I'm gonna go for, but I'm gonna grab one on. Then we're gonna head on back to the station. But this is a place if you're just looking for something to drink or if you're looking for something like space to hang out, you can do that as well. You're in Wauwatosa. Congrats again, sounds like coffee's on cramp here at the station today. Appreciate it.
