FOX6 WakeUp News at 8 | Sept. 7, 2026

All right, good morning everybody. Welcome back to wake up here on your monday labor day and the forecast holly could not be better. Yes, it is a happy holly forecast today for sure. So I hope you guys are able to get out and enjoy yourself. This is like perfect grilling weather. If you were to ask me guys, I mean the day is starting off nice and crisp. We have a lot of sunshine spread across southeast Wisconsin here, but we do see that there are a little bit more of those showers and storms just off to our southwest looks as if those will stay to the southwest. Especially today we will be tracking nothing but sunshine, maybe a couple of clouds that could kind of linger around as well. Looking at temperatures, we have a lot of warming up to do today. We're at 68 right now in Milwaukee. We're seeing a little bit more of those warmer temperatures to our west 70 in Des Moines, 73 in Kansas City, 70 in Minneapolis, closer to home here. We're all in the sixties itself. We were seeing they're right at 71 and guys, no worries. We will be getting to the seventies as we head throughout the rest of this labor day. We'll be there at least by nine o'clock right at that 70 degree mark and we just continue to warm from there and then from there we're just tracking sunshine and we do got more changes to come in the forecast and I'll highlight all of that coming up next back to you. Thanks holly. All right, let's get a quick check of the roads here on your holiday. The good news, there are no crashes to report and the map is completely green. If your commute is anything like mine, it's going to be a breeze. Milwaukee Fire Department responds to a scene on North Avenue. This was the scene when our crews arrived earlier this morning. Milwaukee Fire says the fire hit the first two floors of this building. They said the fire was extinguished and no one was hurt. The details about what caused the flames, that's still under investigation and buyers beware after reports of a new food contamination. Once again, we're talking about produce here. A recall has been issued on frozen fruit that potentially could be contaminated with E. Coli. So check your freezers. This impacts a great value organic triple berry blend sold at walmart's and they have a best buy date of February 9th of 2028. Shoppers are advised to throw the product away or return them to a walmart for a full refund. Well, Wisconsin staple is making some major changes as quick trip is ditching its roller grills. The gas station chain says they made the decision after a case study found that their customers prefer to grab their food to go. Items that were on the roller grill will be put into the hot spot grab and go section. That switch is said to go into effect on September 21st end of an era, a quick trip. All right, a new owner for the former chill restaurant in themes ville, the restauranteurs behind saffron in the third ward and I and downtown Milwaukee announced that they have purchased this building. So you might remember that the chill had a massive fire in 2020 that destroyed the previous 130 year old building. It's unclear when this new restaurant will open for business, but I think if it's like any of the Milwaukee locations, it's going to be very successful. Okay, turning out to our big story this morning here at eight o'clock, the setup is already underway this morning for one of Milwaukee's long time labor day traditions. We're talking about labor fest. Yes, our Stephanie cork is live downtown where that parade is set to step off later this morning. Hey, good morning. This is Zeidler Union Square where the parade is actually set to step off at 11. But you'll see behind me, the work is already underway and things are already happening. There's workers, volunteers from a variety of labor unions here already getting set up and just getting prepared to step off and make their way through downtown. Now, some arrived as early as six a.m. This morning, we talked with the organizers behind this tradition who say it's actually one of the largest free labor day celebrations in the country. The parade alone has been a tradition since 1983. Now, Labor Fest 2026. That's the name of this whole celebration. They say it serves as a celebration of worker achievements, a formal rally focused on worker power, collective bargaining rights and solidarity. So the parade again will step off here at Vell R. Phillips in Wisconsin at 11. They'll make their way through downtown before heading to Henry Meyer Festival Park for Labor Fest, where there's plenty to do. But take a listen to what the Milwaukee area labor president says about what you can expect to see during the parade. Well, today we'll be going down Wisconsin Avenue to Water Street to Chicago and streaming right on into our free festival on the Summerfest grounds. You'll see everything from iron workers to union symphony orchestra musicians in our parade, firefighters, nurses. We've got the whole gamut. So again, this parade, which steps off in just a few hours from now, is really just the beginning of Labor Fest right at Henry Meyer Festival Park. You could expect live music activities that are family friendly for kids, the whole family food raffles, a car show and just so much more. Again, they'll be making their way through downtown here and then heading straight to the gates at Henry Meyer Festival Park for doors open, um, for Labor Fest. So you could bring the friends, the family, the kids and go have fun, eat some food and also celebrate Labor Labor Day and really the backbone of this holiday and one of its longtime traditions. Back to you guys in studio stuff. Thank you. Yeah, things are really picking up over there. Full day planned as well. Gonna be a good time. All right. Well, still to come here on wake up, a new name is floated for one of the 50 states and President Trump is weighing in on that change. Okay, this is interesting. And after 10 days, a man is found in the wreckage in Nepal, the latest in the rescue efforts following those devastating floods and more cleanup underway this time in Mexico, the latest after a firework explosion hits the country. And, of course, we're taking a live look outside here in Milwaukee. Could you be any more gorgeous on this Labor Day morning? Good weather in store for today, and we're gonna want to enjoy it. Storms returned to the forecast tomorrow. Fox six wake up news Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Good morning. Good morning. Taking a live look here at American Family Field where the Brewers are taking on the Cubs today at home at one o'clock. And then tomorrow we keep the party going with a brew crew Tuesday. That game is at 6 30 p.m. And you can watch it right here on Fox six if you don't have tickets to that one. All right, turning out of some world news, we have miraculous rescues that are coming out of Nepal. Survivors were pulled from a tunnel 10 days after the devastating flash flooding. Rescue crews are still searching for more than 5000 people as that death toll has now reached more than 1300. Officials believe the flooding was triggered by a glacier collapse. The U. S. Has pledged $3.6 million in humanitarian aid and new video this morning out of Mexico. You can see the damage from a fireworks explosion at a church festival in the central part of the country. 10 people were killed. More than 60 others were hurt. The force of the blast brought down a nearby wall. The cause of the blast is still under investigation. Authorities continue to search for the missing after two massive explosions at a western Bolivia army base. At least two people died and 81 are hurt after those explosions. The second of the two explosions damaged roofs and houses within a two block radius. Bolivia's government says an investigation into what caused those explosions is underway. Well, yesterday marked a tragic scene out of Miami. At least five people were killed and five more were hurt after a cargo plane overran the runway at Miami International Airport. Fox's Amy Gallo is joining us live from Miami and Amy, what's the latest with this investigation? Haley, I can tell you the roads are still closed leading up to that crash site. You can see those cones and the flashing lights behind me. Investigators still actively looking into what happened yesterday. We're learning from reporting by the Fox local affiliate here in Miami that three of those five injured people are in critical condition and still no word from the N. C. S. B. Or from Miami Dade County officials as to what could have led to this crash. Right now, our focus is on the families, those who are injured and the ongoing response at Miami International Airport and the investigation. We're learning more about what happened and we'll continue to update you. This area is still very active scene. So if everyone at home, if you do not need to be in this area, please, uh, we ask that you refrain from coming into the area. The cargo plane, which departed from San Juan, overran the runway around two p.m. Yesterday, slamming through the airport perimeter fence and onto the road, hitting several cars, more than 60 fire units and about 200 first responders raced to put out the fiery crash and save people who were left trapped, including the pilots and co pilots, which were stuck inside the Boeing 7 67 aircraft. Officials haven't revealed whether the two survived. Fire officials tell Fox News Digital that the fire started in the plane's engine and hazmat units were able to safely shut down the engine while also addressing the plane's fuel leak. Those who live near the airport called it a scary site. I was nearby and I came right here and I looked and I saw the tail and there was a lot of emergency vehicles that said in this direction, it's crazy in here and I saw the plane. I was like, wow, it's like crazy. I hope everyone's okay. The initial ground stop lasted several hours after the crash. Two of the airport's four runways eventually reopened, but operations are still limited, leading to hundreds of delayed or canceled flights during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Association are both now charged with looking into the cause of this crash. Back to you, Haley. Obviously a sad story and something we're gonna stay on top of. Thanks so much. Well, meanwhile, Iran's Supreme National Council plans to announce an exclusion zone outside of the Strait of Hormuz aimed at ships attempting to go through that waterway. Now, this all comes just a day after the U. S. Military says it struck three Iranian oil tankers in response to a missile attack on Navy warships. They say all ships entering the zone will be placed on Iran's sanction list. Well, the trump administration is asking the nation's highest court to intervene on mail and ballot restrictions for the third time. This comes after a federal judge blocked new restrictions on mail ballots ahead of the midterms. The legal wrangling comes as states start sending out mail and ballots, leaving the administration little time to make big changes. A new name for New Mexico. Well, President Trump suggests in a true social post that the state be renamed to New America instead of New Mexico. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham was quick to disagree with that suggestion, saying that it is not up for debate. Trump's push for another name change comes just days after he signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. All right. Lake Michigan is looking gorgeous today. It is like today. Honestly, even with temperatures still a little bit on the lower side, I do believe that once it warms up, it's gonna be even better. But I kind of like it right now. Like that, Chris. Yeah, it's not cold, but it's not hot yet. It's my favorite kind of way. I'm looking at you because I'm like, I know Haley likes the 60 65 range. Yeah, I think it's comfy out there, and I believe it's going to be that way as we head throughout the rest of today. Now we will warm up a little bit more. Yesterday we only got to 74. However, we could get just a touch warmer today, maybe closer to 80. But don't forget, we have a lake breeze that is going to kick in by the lake. So expect temperatures by the lake to be a little bit cooler. Otherwise, though, such a beautiful day on the way. It's a happy holly forecast for certain. We look at those conditions right now. I mean, I don't even want to show you this graphic because I wanted you to just see how beautiful Lake Michigan actually look. That's exactly what they were talking about just a few moments ago. How beautiful it looks out there, and it feels great to 68 degrees. Dew points are pretty low. We're at 63 for our dew points and nice and calm wind as well. Now, looking at those current dew points across southeast Wisconsin here, we're all trending a little bit lower, so it is a little sticky still out there. So a little bit of humidity does exist, but it is not unbearable. So that is the great news of it all. So very nice dew points. And then we look at temperatures even better here. We do see some areas in the sixties and further inland is still a little bit cooler, but they will warm up eventually be warmer than the areas that are lakeside. Our warmest spot right now is Racine. Now we look at those temperatures and how they'll trend throughout the day. You see all the colors that kind of come into there. That means they're going to warm up, guys, and this is gonna be after lunchtime, where we could hit 80 degrees before temperatures start to drop. So expect a little bit of heat today, but it's gonna be perfect grilling. Whether it's not gonna be scolding or scorching hot, I should say outdoors, but definitely still want to make sure you're staying hydrated and don't forget the sunscreen because we will get plenty of sunshine today. But overall, a perfect Labor Day lines up for us compared to what we saw last week, where it was waking up in the morning with a bunch of storms. Not the case for us this time. We look at our satellite and radar nice and quiet across the entire state here. We look off to our southwest there. There are a few of those showers and storms that we're tracking, but that looks to stay to our south as it continues to get closer. We won't really track any rain until late tomorrow. This is a look at our sky vision plus. So throughout today, it is gonna stay nice outside. We could get a little bit more of those clouds to build into the area. And as we head into Tuesday's forecast, we will start the morning off with a little bit of cloud cover, a little bit of sunshine, so it'll be a mixture of sunshine and clouds, but mainly clouds to stick around. As we get towards the afternoon, we will be dry, but we'll start to see in track a little bit more of that rain. That rain comes in as early as about five o'clock. It lasts through the rest of the evening of Tuesday. And then as we head into early Wednesday morning, that is where we finish off with the rain. That's gonna be where another front to another frontal boundary comes in. So we'll be warm in the eighties today and Wednesday is looking to be in the eighties as well. And then from there we are going to be taking it down a notch as that cold front moves through. It is gonna drop those temperatures just a little bit, but more sunshine to come. We're just tracking a little bit of rain today tomorrow into Wednesday and then again on 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 through it all. Start your next chapter with windows that last Fox six wake up news Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. All right. Well, if you're looking for something fun to do today, uh, you should head down to Franklin. Yeah, they've got a festival going on today. There's also labor fest downtown. I think other folks are maybe out on the boats today. Whatever you have planned, your weather for it is going to be near perfect. Well, there's a fun day planned for folks in Franklin this morning. The ST martin's fair is happening right now, and with it, they're showing off their swag. Yes, there's all kinds of vendors and shopping that you can get into down there in Franklin and wiki wears has ST martin's fair clothing owner Laurie Domzell is joining us now live with a look at some of her creations. You know, you always have the most creative stuff. Laurie, walk us through some of your fun t shirts that you have. Sure, absolutely. Well, the main reason we're here is for the ST martin's fair koozies and t shirts because you know where it's all about giving back to the community. So we give a big chunk of the profits back to the fair for to offset some of the costs. And yes, we have so koozies three different kinds. We've got six different kinds of shirts. And then, of course, we have all of our other fun stuff here. If you can't make it out to the fair, we have a shop in Greendale and we're located at 56 76 Broad Street. But we have butter everything. What's not to love about butter? You know, a butter onesie. Come on. That's adorable. So yeah, so we've been lucky enough to be vendors here at the fair for over 20 years. We've been coming to the fair for 50. This is all about food, family, fun and traditions. It's it's just it's the best time. Come out and see us. There's so many great vendors up and down the streets. You can get everything from soup to nuts here. Laurie, as a small business owner who's local, why is it so important that people support you and other business owners like you? I'm sorry you cut out. I'm sorry. Oh, it's okay. Um, can you hear me now? I do. Yes. Oh, great. I was just asking you, you know why it's so important for people in the community to support small business owners like yourself. Oh, it is so critical. My shop is based on all local small businesses were about 95% made in Wisconsin. So a lot of my vendors that I have in my shop are here. It's it just means so much. The money you spend at my shop stays in the community. It goes back. We support things locally. We give back to the community. It just means the world to a small business to support them for sure. And you can get something too unique at your shop. I can imagine that you can't find elsewhere. Can you walk us through some of your other items? Maybe your best sellers, Laurie? Sure, sure. We've got some. Of course, I'm gonna make Matt follow me around the table, but we now have switched. So we do all of our own printing in the store. So we invested in a direct to film printer so we can print stuff pretty much almost on demand. But for the bourbon lover, we've got this great shirt here. This has been really good for us. A fun one at the fun one at the state fair. I almost wore this today. This has been super fun. Horrible idea. What time? A lot of almost. Oh yeah. And for October fest coming up, we've got our pretzel necklace with the mug of beer on the bottom. So we do a lot of Wisconsin things. We try to, um, we don't do anything that copyright. So we don't go down that route. But anything Wisconsin themed we love to have. We do our Wisconsin license plate shirts. We do those custom for people if they want their city or town listed. Um, we just try to have a lot of fun and keep everything local. I love that. Laurie, thank you so much. We'll have to come visit you at the same martin. Please do. Thank you so much. We'll be right back. Fox six wake up news Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Well, good morning and welcome back to wake up holly looking gorgeous and sodas outside right now. Thank you. You ladies look beautiful as well. We're all rocking these summer colors here, even though summer is slowly coming to an end. I mean, it sure doesn't feel like it right now or look like it. Beautiful sunshine out here, guys. And that's what you can expect in your forecast for Labor Day today. And that's all across southeast Wisconsin. We look at our satellite and radar, those showers and storms stay out to our southwest. We don't have to worry about tracking any of that madness today, but we could have a little bit more of the lousy weather returning as we head into Tuesday's forecast, which I'll break that down in the full forecast. But looking at our current temperatures right now, that's what matters. We're at 68 degrees. We have plenty more of that warming up to do. We'll get to at least 80 degrees today, a little cooler by the lake. I must mention. So if you're gonna be by the lake today, do expect temperatures to be just a tad bit cooler versus inland, but it is a beautiful day overall. And we're really gonna say this way. How the morning starts is how the day is actually going to end. But coming up next, we'll talk about the rain that will be pretty much tracking for tomorrow and really giving you your updates for the rest of the week. Back to you, ladies at the desk. All right, Holly, thank you so much. Taking a very quick check at your roads. And I say very quick because traffic, as you can see, is super light. Yeah, 43 41 at U. S. 45 looking nice and quiet, quitting triple A. Things are gonna start to get a little bit gnarly around two o'clock this afternoon. They say 2 to 5 p.m. Is that three hour window that you should avoid if you are traveling home from a Labor Day destination? Because that is when traffic is set to be the busiest. So if you can get out before noon, I think you should be in pretty good shape. Well, Labor Day tradition returns today to Milwaukee. Organizers are gearing up for the annual Labor Fest parade and celebration. And that is where we find our Stephanie Quirk. She's live where the parade is about to step off in just a couple of hours and stuff. I can really see behind you. Things are starting to pick up. There's people who are kind of getting their places to watch the parade fill us in. Absolutely. Yes, this is either Union Square, where we've been live throughout the morning, but you could see just in the past hour or so how many people are here. Now we've got a variety of workers, volunteers from unions across our area starting to line up here, setting up tents and gearing up for Labor Fest again. This is where the parade will step off at 11 here from Seidler Union Square, and they'll make their way through downtown all the way to Henry Meyer Festival Park for Labor Fest, where there will be plenty of things to do. We actually spoke with the organizers of this year's Labor Fest 2026, the president of the Milwaukee Area Labor Council, who says this serves as a celebration of worker achievements while also, uh, serving as a rally focused on worker power, collective bargaining rights and solidarity. Now, this has been one of the largest free Labor Day celebrations in the country for so many years. The parade alone has been a tradition since 1983. Take a listen to what the president had to say about what you could expect to see just during the parade part of this. Well, today we'll be going down Wisconsin Avenue to Water Street to Chicago and streaming right on into our free festival on the Summer Fest grounds. You'll see everything from iron workers to union symphony orchestra musicians in our parade, firefighters, nurses. We've got the whole gamut. So again, the parade steps off at 11 marches through downtown all the way to Henry Meyer Festival Park, where Labor Fest 2026 continues. Now there'll be live music, there'll be food, there'll be raffles, a ton of family friendly activities, a car show, you name it, it'll be there for folks to come out and spend the day and just really celebrate Labor Day while also doing it. So alongside that, one of the backbones really of the holiday itself back to you guys in studio. Yeah, you're absolutely right stuff. You know, we call it the reason for the season at Christmas and it's also important to remember the reason behind this day today as well. All right, thank you stuff and some gorgeous weather for all those activities. Yes. Well, all of you have started to kind of map out your Labor Day plans. You may want to be mindful of what or who is on the roadways. Our Donovan Long is joining us now from our live center with how you will be impacted today for folks who are traveling. And Don, we know that there are so many people who are going to be out on the roads. Oh, you know it, Nicola. Good morning to you too, Haley. Good to see you too. Yeah, I want to give you a live look now at our roads speaking of. So as you can imagine, as Nick said earlier in the broadcast, things are pretty quiet and for good reason because we are celebrating a federal holiday today, meaning a lot of you don't have to be at work. But if you do have to get out and about, you shouldn't have anything standing in your way until around noon. Okay. According to Triple A, the worst times to hit the road today are between two and five. So I surmise that you should probably get out and get some groceries done or some last minute activities done for the remainder of the week before that time period. Because once you're sitting in traffic, you will start to regret it. Okay. Speaking of getting out there, you may want to fill up before you hit the road. If you're like me. Yeah. Labor Day weekend travelers are facing the highest gas prices ever for this time of the year. In fact, the national average is excuse me, 4 14. According to Triple A, the national average has never been above $4 a gallon on Labor Day. But here in Wisconsin, it is 3 87. Now, this time last year, the statewide average was 2 98. And I'm telling Nicola about this earlier. I filled up over the weekend at a gas station near my home. I paid for what? 4 50 something a gallon. That's regular gas. I know whoever said that is right. Well, that's up, you know, and I think for folks who drive far to go to work or go see loved ones. Sure, it adds up in my wallet was hurting because of it. Speaking of other things you may want to keep in mind as you plan the rest of the day. Most D. B. W. Excuse me, you guys. Most D. P. W. And city of Milwaukee offices will be closed today, meaning no garbage and recycling pickup. But the services will resume tomorrow. Also, no parking meter or hourly restriction enforcement today. Uh, not a freebie because you still got to be parked illegally here. Also, no overnight enforcement tonight into tomorrow morning. Nicola and Haley, I'll send it back to you all. Yeah, just be mindful of all that stuff as you get out the door. Lots of good, helpful advice right there. So some new details now. Thank you, Donovan. As the block fallout continues, the Watoma Police Department in Washara County is joining several departments across our area moving away from the license plate readers. In a statement, the department said, in part quote, the effectiveness of a law enforcement tool does not override the importance of following the rules and agreements governing its use. Our responsibility is first and foremost to the community we serve. And let's take a look at the other agencies moving away from flock safety. The city of Sheboygan and its police department are looking to end their contract with flock in Milwaukee County. Both County Executive David Crowley and Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson have put restrictions on the use of flock systems. One county supervisor is also calling for the sheriff's office to end its contract altogether. In Racine County, the sheriff's office went as far as taking their 10 cameras down immediately on Friday. In Fond du Lac County, the sheriff's office and police in Fond du Lac, North Fond du Lac, Rippon and Waupon all intend to end their contracts with flock. And in Kenosha County, the police department is canceling its contract with flock. However, the city did sign a 10 year deal with Axon, another vendor for their version of license plate reading cameras. And while some drivers are growing weary of flock, these riders put caution to the wind during the big unit poker run. Hundreds of riders put up their kickstands at the Harley Davidson Museum, riding from downtown Milwaukee to Fiendsville. Funds from yesterday's event went to Fisher House, Wisconsin, supporting veterans and their families. Well, they weren't the only group supporting veterans. Yesterday, Explorium Brew Pub in Greendale hosted its annual Burn Pit Barbecue Backyard Bash. It featured, of course, a barbecue competition and a community tasting in the afternoon as well. On top of trying out some tasty barbecue, visitors also got the chance to enter raffles for prizes from local businesses and sports teams. Well, a group of local and national artists took over the historic Third Ward this weekend. The 14th annual Third Ward Art Festival brings together more than 130 juried artists. Visitors got the chance to browse original work across ceramics, painting, glass, jewelry and sculpture, or even watch some live art demonstrations. Inspired by Broadway musicals and her parents' musical talents, this sophomore has released her own album, and she's also played on the coolest stage. Let's revisit one exciting Fox six high school hot shots. I'm Aubrey Marie. I'm a freshman at Key Watson High School, and I'm a singer songwriter. I play piano is my main guitar, ukulele. I noodle on drums and bass. My dad played guitar ever since he was little. My mom was an opera singer. If I didn't have music in me, I think we would have had a problem. So my first memory was my parents used to DJ, and as I'm watching them, I'm like, that is so cool. I want to do something like that someday. Writing became a thing three years ago. My album is called Where's My Wizard of Oz. I wanted a boy with a heart, courage, and brains. I came home from school. My dad had this really cool riff on guitar, and I was like, this thing is so cool. I took the guitar, and then I wrote the song on it. There are songs that are happy, sad, breakup songs, get-together songs. I think the Aubrey on stage has more attitude. The girl on stage just kind of turns into such a random person. I'm like, where did you come from? We played the Briggs and Stratton Big Backyard stage at Summerfest. A couple days later, one of my favorite artists played the biggest stage there, and I was like, I've played Summerfest as well. We're both playing the same festival together. That's so cool. My bass player, her name is Erica. My guitar player, his name is Brendan, and my drummer's name is Tyler. Volleyball. It was very fun at the time, and then I picked up a pencil and a guitar, and I was like, wait, this is more fun. I'm Aubrey Murray. I'm a freshman at Kewoskum High School. I'm a singer-songwriter, and my band just played Summerfest, and I'm this week's Box 6 High School Hotshot. A very talented young woman there. All right, Aubrey will be playing in a benefit concert this weekend called Rockin' for Heroes. That's in Germantown. She was also able to play at Summerfest for the second year in a row. Good for her. Okay, so it is time now to get you set up for Fox 6 Wake Up at nine o'clock. It's migration season, and a Wisconsin sanctuary is giving people the chance to track monarch butterflies on their long journey ahead. And as they're headed out, a country music star came in. Kane Brown headlining a free concert at the University of Wisconsin. That's a good one there. And one of the biggest movie stars is getting ready for his latest appearance. Gino joins us live to talk about Robert Pattinson in primetime. Oh, I'm jealous he got to talk to Robert Pattinson. But of course, before all of that, we'll be taking you out to Franklin for the Saint Martin Fair. That is the perfect way to spend your Labor Day. And hey, getting a nice little snack and treat while we're at it. Hey, thanks for sending yours. That's being your Labor Day with us right here on Fox six. Wake up. Good morning. Good morning. Taking a live look here at M. K. E. I think if you're traveling to or from Milwaukee today flying in or out, I should say I don't think the weather is gonna give you any issues at the airport. If you are coming to town, you want to have the cops. The flavors today look so good. They have the all American cherry, which is cherries, blueberries and vanilla custard. Yum. They also have mint chip. So classic. Enjoy your well, the first football game played this season at Lambeau Field did not actually feature the Packers. Yeah, the Wisconsin Badgers and Notre Dame fighting Irish met in Green Bay as Wisconsin looked to start their season strong. Fox six is Lily Zhao has more from title town. The Wisconsin Badgers kicked off their 2026 season here at Lambeau Field, taken on the fourth ranked Notre Dame fighting Irish. It was a tale of two halves for Wisconsin in the first half. They hung in there. It was. There was electricity in the air defense special teams contributing. But again, they had to play a clean game the entire way. They did not do that. There were missed opportunities. They gave away points to Notre Dame, especially off a fumbled kickoff return. Notre Dame scored right after that. There was a 55 yard pick six via Colton Joseph and from there it was all downhill for Wisconsin. The Badgers, though, just could not find an answer for Notre Dame in that second half, and these guys no moving forward. That can't happen again. 100%. You know, there's there's a lot of good to come out of this, but there's really a lot of bad. You know, we can't come out in the second half like that. But you know, that first half of that first half team can stay consistent throughout the entire game. This could be one of the best teams we've seen in a while. I mean, it's not a one game season. I feel like there's so much hype and so much build up to this game that, you know, obviously didn't go our way, but we've got a long season ahead of us and, you know, we've got a great team that's gonna come out and come out, come out firing next week. The Badgers were really hoping to replicate that magic that they felt here a decade ago when the Badgers stunned LSU at Lambeau Field again. That did not happen. But what this team did learn is they can get back to the drawing board and start a new season that begins week two against Western Illinois back at Camp Randall reporting from inside Lambeau Field, Lily's out Fox exports. And don't forget that you can tune into Fox six tomorrow for another brew crew Tuesday. The Brewers host the Cubs on Fox six tomorrow and one of baseball's biggest rivalries. The game starts at 6 30 right here on Fox six. But be sure to tune in early for all of the pregame fun. Of course, you're still looking for some Labor Day plans. You could go to am fam today as well to see that rivalry on the clock. I feel like it's a roof open. Oh, you're going today. But my friends, yeah, I'm going. I'm really excited about the rival game just to, like, see the people. Oh, like, go ahead with the fans. I know. I mean, I'm still going to be going for the Brewers. I think that's just very safe with me being here in Milwaukee. But it's gonna be a roof open game. You're right, Haley, because the weather is gonna be sunny now. I do believe it may be a little toasty in am fam field even. Well, if the roof is open, I think it will be okay. However, I do still believe it will get hot, especially if you're gonna be sitting where the sun is kind of beaming on those seats. If you if you sat in those seats, you know exactly what I'm talking about. But if you're headed out today, definitely gonna be a good day for you to enjoy yourself, have a brat, you know, have everything that makes you feel good on the game day. And then as far as our temperatures go, they're gonna continue to warm up to for the game day. We will be a little cooler by the lake. Just to you. Not too bad, though. It actually will be really pleasant, but probably closer to where am fam field is and further out west, we will start to warm up closer to the eighties. We're at 68 degrees right now with our dew points at 63. Our current dew points across southeast Wisconsin, though we're seeing some spots where it is just a little bit more on the elevated side. So 67 in Watertown, everybody else still looking to be on the lower side of things. So we're we're still sticky. Of course, we're still sticky, a little muggy, but is not oppressive. So that is the best news for us. Now, looking at our temperatures here across southeast Wisconsin, we really haven't warmed up that much over the past hour, but we will start warming up, especially now that we have that sunshine that's pretty much hanging around and it will be throughout the entire day. We'll see these numbers get to at least the mid to upper seventies. Looking at our temperatures here as they trend. This is specifically for Milwaukee. So you even see here at least by noon will be in the mid seventies will be in the around 80 after noon. And then from there we do stay pretty warm throughout the day. Now, as we head towards tonight, that's when those temperatures will be dropping again. But honestly, it's not something we've never felt before. Looking at our satellite and radar here. Happy Holly forecast is on the way for sure. As you see here, we're not tracking any rain or anything, just sunshine. And that's what we'll be tracking all day today. Now we do have clouds that could increase, especially as we head towards later on today. And you'll see that here on our sky vision plus. So as we make it throughout the rest of this afternoon, the afternoon, that's when you'll start to see clouds picking up, but no rain. Okay, but clouds, that's gonna provide a lot of shade for us, but we will still get those peaks of sunshine. Now, heading into Tuesday's forecast, we start the morning off with overcast skies that sets us up for the rain because we will be tracking rain Tuesday afternoon. And then from there, even throughout the evening, we will have that chance for showers. But mainly the bulk of the rain arrives overnight Tuesday into early Wednesday morning. So your Wednesday morning commute could be a little soggy. You're gonna be headed and getting back to work. So just keep that in mind. Looking at our six day planner here after Wednesday, really, as we go towards the later half of the day on Wednesday, we'll get some sunshine will be warming up as well. We cool off for Thursday with sunshine and we stay dry for the remainder of the week. But in the weekend, that's when we track another chance for some rain. But we'll be back to the eighties. In the meantime, we're gonna take you back out to Franklin as we celebrate Labor Day for the ST Martin's Fair. Carrie's Crispy's is one of the vendors out there and co owner Carrie C. Slack joins us to talk about this big day for the Franklin community. Good morning, Carrie. Good morning. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited that you're here and I have a feeling we're all gonna be hungry after talking to you. Tell me all about Carrie's Crispy. Sure, sure. So we're Carrie's Crispy's. We have over 26 flavors here at the fair. We have over 45 at our store. But so we specialize in a big variety of rice, crispy treats and new this year. We actually brought eight flavors of our puppy child. So we kind of branched out there. Um, added added puppy child to the mix of things. Oh, delicious. And I know a lot of these rice crispy treats are very allergy friendly. Walk me through some of your flavors. Sure, sure. So yes, most of our flavors today, all but two are going to be gluten free. We do have some gluten free and dairy free options as well. But to highlight some of the flavors, obviously it's the fall. So we have our three brand new fall flavors featuring this weekend. We do our pumpkin spice obviously to the season, white chocolate, cranberry, caramel apple. And then after that we have our favorites like peanut butter cup and s'mores, blue moon, fruity rainbow coffee toffee just to name a few. Well, you're talking to a pumpkin spice latte super fan over here. So I love that you have a pumpkin spice rice crispy treat. What are some of the reactions you get? Because these I mean, these aren't your typical flavors. These are very creative. Yes. Yeah. I mean, people are usually pretty impressed and when they're like, wow, you have so many flavors. I'm like, we've got 27 today and we have more than that. Everyone's just like, wow, I never knew you could do so much, which is really cool for me because I'm like, that kind of inspires me to make new flavors. Um, I know some people that never heard of us, they ask like, oh, are they just colored differently? And I'm like, no, they're flavored differently. And I don't want to forget about the puppy child because I know you said that this is kind of the first year you brought that with you. What are some of the flavors there? Sure. So we do have our classic. So that's just the chocolate and peanut butter puppy chow. We have some more's birthday cake, tiramisu dubai style. That's kind of like a pretty big thing now with the pistachio and the chocolate, a peanut butter brownie cookies and cream. And then we do have a couple pumpkin spice left. If you can get here fast enough. Well, Carrie, I knew I was going to be right. Suddenly I am very hungry because everything looks delicious. We appreciate you so much joining us here at wake up.
