FOX6 WakeUp News at 8 | Nov. 9, 2026

Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Well, good morning, everybody. Welcome back to Wake Up on this Monday. One day. Looks lovely, but it feels cold. Yeah, the sun makes up for the cold temperature. It's telling when none of us have short sleeves on, right? I mean, you definitely need to wear some of the layers today. You can still pull out the short sleeves maybe by the afternoon, but certainly in the morning hours, you want to bundle up. We have a lot of cars moving over the Marquette Interchange, not having any issues with slick roads. We've not had much of precipitation at at all recently, but we will have the glaring sun this morning and some minor frost, which may be on your car windshield that you'll need to scrape off. We still are holding strong with many inland areas near that freezing mark, but starting to slowly see some of the mid and upper 30s near the lakefront and already 41 in Racine and 40 in Kenosha. So it doesn't take long for the sun to help warm our temps. That in combination with our winds today will bring our temperatures by the afternoon back above average. We should have some upper 50s, mid 50s around. And maybe even a low 60 by the lake, not ruled out under partly sunny skies. But while this forecast looks good, we have some warmer days and cooler days to talk about that coming up in just a bit. Lisa, thank you so much. Okay, so we just had a crash get reported here. This one's on 894 West by Loomis Road down by the airport. Heads up, if this is part of your morning commute, you might see some impacts from that. Elsewhere, though, things are looking pretty quiet, at least in terms of your crashes. We are still seeing construction-related congestion on your map. Taking a look at your drive times here. Yikes. Late into downtown will take you 12 minutes right now. Headed on 43 North. 94 gnarly per usual. minutes more into downtown is your slow spot there. Well right now Milwaukee police are asking for help finding a critically missing man. 59 year old Jimmy Brooks was last seen around 8 30 yesterday morning near 8th and Nash. He's six foot one and weighs about 260 pounds. If you have any information Milwaukee police would like to hear from you. Well turning now to our big story this morning a West Bend family is found dead inside of their home over the weekend. Two of the deceased were children and another child was taken to the hospital. Our Stephanie Cork is joining us now live from West Bend, right outside of the home where this horrific scene happened here. And Steph, I can see there's quite the growing memorial behind you, as well as crime scene tape, as of course this investigation is still active. Yeah, Nicola, that's right, and you can see behind me too, there's a growing memorial with flowers, there's balloons, there's teddy bears placed just outside this home. Again, as you mentioned, surrounded by crime scene tape, West Bend police still here on scene as they monitor this active, ongoing investigation. What we can tell you so far, we got confirmation from two separate police sources who tell Fox 6 the suspect. In this investigation is a former Milwaukee police officer. West Bend police have not shared specific details about this incident, but did confirm that the suspect is believed to be among the deceased. We're not naming that suspect at this time as they have not been identified by investigators. But let's break down what we know so far about this investigation. West Bend police say someone called 911 just before noon. On Saturday, reporting multiple people found dead inside a home. Police responded to a home, again, where we're live this morning near Edgewood in Wisconsin. Officers discovered the bodies of one adult man, an adult woman, a boy, and a girl, as well as a dog. Officers say another girl inside the home was taken to the hospital for treatment. They tell us she is in stable condition. Police also say they found a firearm inside the home they believe is connected to the incident. They also say everyone within the home is connected to one another. And outside the home, you mentioned that growing memorial for the victims. Our crews actually spoke to one group who says they are close friends with the family. They were a welcoming family. Their mom was incredible. Their children were incredible. We have lost three lovely angels, and while the other one's in the hospital for something Something she never could have handled. And police also say there is no threat to the public at the time at this time. They are urging anyone with information to contact West Bend Police. We did reach out this morning asking for any updates in this investigation and right now we're waiting to hear back. Back to you guys in studio. All right, Stephanie, again, just a heartbreaking situation, but we will stay on top of that investigation. And if you or anyone you know is in a domestic violence situation and needs help, call the domestic violence hotline at the number right there on your screen. That's 1-800-799-SAFE. We're currently developing the Racine County Sheriff's Office captain who lost her race for sheriff last week has been placed on administrative leave. The sheriff's office tells Fox 6 Captain Carrie Magracle is on leave pending a criminal investigation of another individual and a pending internal administrative review of her actions. Madrigal isn't the focus of the criminal investigation. The sheriff's office says the allegations were turned over to the Kenosha County Sheriff's Office to protect the integrity of the investigation. Well, as of now, the sheriff's office is not saying what that case is, but this week we do know the Kenosha County Sheriff's Office took over a case from Racine that led to the arrest and charging of the Union Grove High School District Administrator on child pornography charges. Thomas Johnson is being held on a $250,000 cash bond. The criminal complaint against him says investigators found the pornography on his phone after receiving a tip that Johnson had inappropriate contact with current or former students. The complaint also says an unnamed Racine County Sheriff's Office employee came and spoke to Johnson in his office about this case before it had been assigned to an investigator. A Wisconsin pilot is dead after crashing in Kentucky. Local law enforcement say that he was heading back from an air show that he had attended with his daughter. He was flying in the blue plane that you see there on the left of this photo. This was obviously captured before the crash. And she, his daughter, was flying the one on the right. The sheriff's office says the pilot and his daughter were flying again these separate jets and they stopped to refuel at a local airport in Mayfield. When they took off again, the pilot radioed that he was having an issue and went down in a field. Emergency responders found the plane in flames. The plane that his daughter was flying did land safely. Right now, the pilot's identity has not been made public. Well, we told you about one of those controversial immigration cases last week when a Wisconsin state trooper was detained by ICE agents. Trooper Carl Aaron Vandermerwe and his family came to the U.S. on a visa in 2019. He's authorized to work in the U.S. and has an asylum application pending. In a statement, Homeland Security claims he overstayed his admission. Well, we spoke with the trooper's attorney. Agency that provided him with the work permit. So for them to now say that he's doing something illegally is 100% disingenuous. Vandermerwe was released from ICE custody Friday. He is now under electronic supervision while he waits for his case to be heard in immigration court. The trial is scheduled to begin later on this morning for a former school security coordinator accused of hiding a camera in a girl's locker room. Fernando Bustos worked at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School. Investigators say he secretly recorded hundreds of videos from the spring of 2024 to February of 2025. A former Milwaukee restaurant owner faces sentencing today for sexually assaulting a woman and a 14-year-old girl. Kevin Lopez was convicted in September. Prosecutors say the assault happened as the group drank past bar close at Judy's Cantina on Farwell, which Lopez co-owned with his mother at the time. Well, coming up, newly elected members of Congress head to D.C., including three from here in Wisconsin. Yeah, we're going to tell you who and what their freshman orientation will look like. Plus, experts are pointing to the results of the midterm elections as the reason why it could be more difficult for data centers to open. Why some voters say that this is not all bad news. And then we'll tell you how students in Chicago are learning a costly lesson early. What they're saying about the financial literacy lesson and how the school is pushing others to participate. And after all that, we're going to take you back down to Oak Creek for more of the menu at Georgie Porgy's Tree Fort. This time, though, things are going to get a little bit cheesy. The reason why after the break. Good morning. Taking a live look here at our beautiful city. We are in for a cold day, but. The sun is shining so for me that's always a bonus. If you think it's chilly today though maybe just wait until Thursday. It's going to get even nippier out there. Well this morning some newly elected members of Congress are in D.C. for their freshman orientation. They'll be learning how Congress operates and meeting their fellow lawmakers and that includes three new representatives from Wisconsin. Mitchell Berman, Rebecca Cook and Michael Alfonso. Well, the results of the midterm elections on Tuesday of last week might make it harder for new data centers to open. This is according to some key financial technology experts. They say data center opposition appeared on many state midterm ballots all across the country. However, they also say despite the current resistance, many communities don't want to lose the jobs that data centers create. Well, the world's largest maker of computer chips, NVIDIA, is investigating its own CEO after reports he was targeted by a Chinese spy. The New York Times is reporting that Jensen Huang admitted to having an affair with a Chinese woman. Now U.S. intelligence agencies believe he was giving information to her. NVIDIA's chips power many of the data centers and computing systems used to train. And run AI models around the country. Well, news this morning, students in Chicago are celebrating their graduation from a six-week financial literacy program. Yeah, the program is focused on budgeting, saving, investing, and understanding credit. So Howie School of Excellence students became the first in the Chicago public school system to complete the learning. Some students say they now have the confidence to make smart financial decisions. My money on things that I need and stuff and like that, how to save my money and how to invest in it. I feel really blessed to do this because I know some schools don't get the chance to do this, so I'm really happy and excited that I got to, you know, graduate from financial literacy. The graduates earned daisy bucks, or play money, to help learn the basics of earning, counting, and spending money. Staff members at the school say they hope other school districts adopt similar financial literacy programs. Well, also new this morning, you can save lives by going for a spin. The American Red Cross is teaming up with Wheel of Fortune to give back to donors this holiday season. So anyone who donates blood or platelets between November 23rd and December 6th will get a Wheel of Fortune mug while supplies last. But it doesn't stop there. Donors will also be entered for a chance to win a three-night trip for two to watch a Wheel of Fortune taping in California. People of all blood types are encouraged to make an appointment to donate. There you go. Wonderful cause, too. We know the need is always so high, especially this time of year. Absolutely. Yeah, and it's always great to give back, right, when it starts to head into the holiday season any way you can. This is one way. You know, we have coats for kids, our own campaign going on. You can help with that, too. And, of course, we just need the weather to cooperate when you're heading out the door. So, needing the coats, maybe turning on the heat this morning is something you had to do over the weekend and continuing into the start of this work week. We have a lot of sunshine out there, but we're also noticing is the. The upper level clouds and contrails from some of the airplanes that have been flying across our skies this morning. We will still continue to have some cloud cover, but it is not going to be thick to cover up the sun. It's just going to be, again, this very light kind of upper level stratus that we're seeing right now. We're continuing to deal, though, with some calm conditions here locally. But bigger picture, while we don't have much going on across Wisconsin, we notice thicker clouds and the frontal boundary. off to our west in Minnesota. That is going to impact us as we move into the afternoon today and even tonight. So expecting a warm front to lift, which will give us. Not only warmer temperatures, but it is going to pick up our winds just a little bit, which will help things out by tonight and tomorrow. Let's break that down on Sky Vision Plus. We're going to continue to talk about partly sunny skies today, winds significantly lighter than yesterday, so nice enough to go outside and not have to lose your hat and maybe not need that thicker coat either. But we will be watching a wind shift out of the southwest by this afternoon and tonight once that warm front lifts over us. Because of... The warmer winds. Coming out of the south. That's going to keep our temperatures warmer tonight into tomorrow morning. We are expected to have clearer skies during this time, but clear skies normally means our temperatures drop. That's not going to be the case because of the stronger winds that will sit with us overnight. Let's talk more about the temperatures a little more in depth because we're going to have some fluctuations of the numbers this week. Still seeing some of the low 30s inland, mid to upper 30s and even some 40s near the lakefront. The sun is nicely helping to melt some of the frost on surfaces this morning. And we'll continue to climb up into the upper 50s today, which will be well above average. Again, more comfortable today due to the lack of winds. But notice as we head into tonight, there's not a big drop. Our temperatures just very slowly dip down into the low 50s and upper 40s by 8, 9 o'clock. And that has to do with the warm front. So the warm front will keep us more mild not only through the day, but through the evening as we head through today into Tuesday. Tuesday. Now, Wednesday is where we start to see a slow shift in the jet stream. And as that jet stream is going to shift further south, colder air is going to rush in behind it, making it feel very chilly by the end of the week. In fact, some of the coldest high temperatures we've had all season look to move in in just a few days. Now, the cold is one aspect we have to watch. But the second, it's the winds. We will deal with some showers more likely on Wednesday, but winds coming out of the north, moving over the warm waters like Michigan could bring us some lake effect rain, maybe mixing in some snowflakes. Not expected to see any accumulation, but it's possible to have our first flakes of the year heading into Thursday. So, yes, enjoy some of the sunshine and warmth the next few days. Right now, Veterans Day looks to be seasonable in the low 50s with some showers possible.

What other reasons are these better than just get going from freezer to fryer? Well, the Wisconsin mozzarella. Yeah. And there's a good chunk of mozzarella on there. That's that in itself is kind of like a portion of a meal, right? It's over an ounce of mozzarella right there. I love that. You got this down. Is this one of those like tedious tasks that you guys have to do that is rewarding? knowing that your customers love it so much. You know anytime you do homemade items, sure it just tastes so much better. It gets the flavors better, we can control the seasoning, we can control all the ingredients that's put in there because we're making it homemade. Yeah you guys but that's what you do and I think a lot of people that come to Georgie Porgy's understand the quality when it comes to the food. The burgers, They're all steak, right? It's an Angus steak burger. It's an Angus steak burger, okay, and then the buns. A nice brioche bun. You know, if you have chicken, it's crispy or it's grilled. The steak that you're making for pastrami sandwich, I mean, nice cut of sirloin. This is what you guys have been doing for 35 years. Yeah, so like, even the sauce, if we make our own Porgy's sauce, which is like our Thousand Island. Chipotle mayo, guac. We do all these things just to put a lot of love. So when you're making these mozzarella sticks, you're making it with love, you know, because it's just homemade and so good. And I'm so glad that you're continuing on those traditions too that your mom and dad had set before you. First job in the business was what, Lou? Do you remember? Fry cook. Fry cook.

Good morning, everybody. Happy Monday. Welcome to Wake Up. So nice to see the sunshine, Lisa. It's gorgeous, isn't it? It's literally the cherry on top of the day. That's what we need because it's been cold this morning. We've had temperatures near and below freezing, frost on the ground, and maybe on your vehicle, you may need to scrape off this morning, but at least things are looking better. Now, near Altoona, Wisconsin, we have a little more cloud cover out there. Of course, that fall foliage past peak now, so don't expect a lot A lot of the nice vibrations. Vibrant colors, but it might be lucky and still catch some of those leaves on the trees. More of the strong winds this week will be pulling the leaves down, though. We are in the 40s now in Racine and Kenosha. 38 in Milwaukee, still 35 in Fond du Lac and Juneau, so we're gradually starting to see our temperatures trend in the warmer direction, and we've had quite a few warm days in November this month, only one day below average, but we're looking to fill a lot more below average days as we head into this week. I'll break that down on how cold coming up. Thanks, Lisa. We're going to get to a check your roads now here at 830 for your morning commute. Certainly seeing some more color pop up on the map, showing us there are some slowdowns, including two different crashes to report here. First one's on I-41, 43, I-94 West is about 0.3 miles beyond the ramp from Loomis Road. That is where the left shoulder is currently blocked due to a crash. Got another one for you on WIS 164 South at I-43 North. The left lane blocked there due to a crash. Otherwise, seeing your pretty typical congestion near the ballpark. Of course, ongoing construction reduces lanes. So just build in some extra time this morning. Well, four people and a dog were found dead inside a West Bend home Saturday. Two of the deceased were children, and another child was taken to the hospital. Our Stephanie Quirk joining us live outside that home with more. Stephanie. Good morning. I can tell you there's a growing memorial here with this home just completely surrounded by investigative tape here. We also see West Bend police remain here on scene again in the city of West Bend as they monitor this home and this active ongoing investigation. I can also tell you that we have confirmation from two separate police sources who tell Fox 6 the suspect in the investigation is a former Milwaukee police officer. West Bend Police have not shared specific details about the incident but did confirm the suspect is believed to be among the deceased. We are not naming the suspect at this time as they have not been identified by investigators but let's break down what we know so far about the investigation. West Bend Police say someone called 911 just before noon Saturday reporting multiple people dead inside a home. Police then responded to a home near Edgewood in Wisconsin and that's where officers Police discovered the bodies of one adult man, an adult woman, a boy, and a girl, as well as a dog. Officers say another girl inside the home was taken to the hospital for treatment. They tell us that she is stable. Police also say they found a firearm inside the home that they believe is connected to the incident. They also say everyone within the home is connected to one another. And outside the home, meanwhile, there's a growing memorial for the victims. In fact, our crews over the weekend spoke to one group who says that that they are close friends with the victims. We have lost three lovely angels, and while the other one's in the hospital for something she never could have handled. Police say there is no threat to the public right now. They're asking anyone with information to contact police. We just see more responders here arriving to the scene. Community service officer here on the scene as they investigate and work this scene. This is an active and ongoing investigation here in West Bend. I can tell you too that police are urging anyone who may know somebody who's experiencing domestic violence to reach out for help. Support and there are resources out there and we have those resources of course on our website fox6now.com. Reporting live in West Bend, Stephanie Quirk, Fox 6 News. Yeah Steph, we can see people still going into that house. It'll be interesting to hear kind of what comes out of this today as clearly they're continuing to investigate. Thank you. Well, the NPS community, we know, is still recovering after learning that a special education teacher was beaten to death near 12th and Walnut. This was just last week. Yeah, now loved ones held a vigil where people say that deadly beating happened. The vigil, not about how Bruce died, but about how he lived. Sunday loved ones held a candlelight vigil to honor Bruce and the legacy that he leaves behind. The Roosevelt Middle School of the Arts principal says he was a special education teacher for 13 years. We spoke to family about their emotions and how they're processing this loss. I think the one thing that's missing there's people being trained with what do I do with my anger. Not just unleash it on anybody and everybody, but how do I control it to see what happened. In the midst of him just doing what he does, and that's helping someone else, it's pretty tragic. The World Outreach Center and Bible Training Center shared a press release saying in part, Bruce was attempting to help a woman who was reportedly being assaulted when he was attacked. As of this morning, police have not said what led up to the deadly beating, but they did arrest a 22-year-old. In your Health Watch now, less daylight is not the only concern for drivers this time of year. The recent end of daylight saving time means more people are out in the dark. And so are the deer. Wildlife experts say white-tailed deer are more active during dawn and dusk, especially during mating season. And the side of the road offers deer some good grazing opportunities. Well, experts also say there's biological reasons behind why many deer actually freeze in the headlights. During the dark, their eyes are pulling in light from the environment, and then all of a sudden they get an intense amount of light in their eyes, and so they freeze. Wildlife experts are urging drivers to pay close attention to the roads for the next couple of months. They also say if you see a deer on the side of the road, that usually means there's more nearby. Well, taking a look at the numbers here in Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation says there were nearly 18,000 deer collisions reported in 2025, and the top three counties for collisions are in our area. Waukesha County saw just over 1,000, followed by Washington County with a little under 900. Sheboygan came in third with just over 800. Dane and St. Croix Counties rounded out the top five. Students at West Bend East and West High Schools will continue with remote learning this week because of fire damage. This comes after crews were called to the high school last week for a fire on the second floor of the shared building. The district says the cleanup process is still underway and the building will remain closed until at least Monday the 16th. Some extracurricular activities have been moved to other facilities. The cause of that fire is still under investigation. Transcription Well, over the weekend, a community gathered to honor and recognize those who served our country. Saturday's annual Veterans Day Parade in downtown Wauwatosa celebrated military families and active-duty National Guard and Reserve Service members. by Organizers say the parade CastingWords also aims to raise awareness about the challenges that veterans face, including mental health concerns, PTSD, and also finding employment. They say they want the patriotic celebration to inspire the next generation to serve. Follow in the footsteps of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Go out and serve your country. Do what you can to help people. It doesn't necessarily have to be in the armed forces. I mean it can be in police forces, it could be as teachers, but just go out there and serve your community. Special guests at Saturday's parade range from local law enforcement to the fan favorite dancing grannies. And this is a reminder now that Fox 6 proudly salutes our nation's veterans and the organizations that serve them every day. So we believe that our veterans deserve to live with dignity and independence, not on the streets. And that is why we are making camo our cause in support of the Honor U.S. Vets campaign. You can join us by making a donation and wearing camo this Veterans Day, which is on Wednesday. Post your camo on social with hashtag Honor U.S. Vets to donate Donate and learn more information on how you can help U.S. veterans prevent...

When it comes to holiday traditions, a survey of 2,000 American homeowners found nearly half of them say they are burned out with the traditional celebrations. And two-thirds are planning a secret twist, while many plan to ditch the indoor norms and host parties in their backyards instead. The survey found they plan to drop an average of nearly $800 in outdoor holiday decor, better menus, and a more relaxed vibe. Well, hey, speaking of the holidays, the shopping season, I feel like it's already here. Right. Absolutely. And I know so many people are already combing the Internet for deals and planning to pop up at stores for those doorbusters. Well, Erica joins us in the live center with tips on hunting down the very best Black Friday deals this season. I know we've all been kind of getting these things on the apps and emails, things like that. You know, it's quite not that time to shop until you drop. We've all been getting promotions, whether it be pop-ups on social media. And it's hard to not buy a product when you see it, but don't do it. So marketing experts recommend using whatever time we have left to develop a plan. Saying that you should be decisive and do your research ahead of time so shoppers could stay savvy. So with Black Friday officially starting on November 27th, and early deals are already heating up. I know a lot of us have seen these already. Marketing experts are advising consumers to jot down lists and strategize sales before making those purchases. They say these deals obviously are triggering a sense of urgency, which could really cloud our spending judgment. So Mike Brazeal is a marketing professor at Mystique. Mississippi State and says just because something has that, you know, that red sticker or it says deal or you see a kind of, you know, written in red on your email doesn't mean it's necessarily a good deal. And he says the retailers really just want you to make a quick decision, but we need time to make a good decision. And obviously those two don't go together. So Brazil recommends researching the price history of an item to help narrow down the best discounts on it. And look at whether, you know, the prices that we're seeing today are any better than the ones that we have gotten maybe yesterday or maybe even able to get next week. He says having strict standards for objects, you know, could kind of help you prevent something from being bought just because it's marked down. Decide how much you're willing to spend, both in total and on individual pieces. Decide what it is that really matters to you in each of the things that you're buying. If you're looking for a TV, what size does it need to be? And to decide up front, I'm only going to accept these criteria if I define that deal that I think is a great deal. You know, allowing a little thinking time between purchases can also help consumers shop smart this season. So basically, you know, step away from it, the urgency, you know, just a little bit, try to decide, would you care as much if the urgency weren't so important right now? Yeah. Or would you get this great price? Would I still want this product? I know, Nick, you and I have been on the Macy's app, let's just say it. It's like, I know it's friends and family time, but you know, let those boots sit in the cart for just a little bit and come back to it. Think about it. Yeah. They're probably not going to sell out. That's what I tell myself. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. At least not yet. Agreed. Agreed, ladies. Well, thanks, Derek. Time now to get you all set up for Fox 6 Wake Up at 9. Still ahead at 9 o'clock. While everybody is thinking about Christmas, Macy's, speaking of Macy's, is getting ready for their big Thanksgiving Day parade. I love this parade. Stick around for what new floats are on this year's lineup. Ooh. Plus, you've got details on the HBO hit series, The Pit. And what legal troubles they're now facing coming up, you're going to learn where the lawsuit stands as of this morning and as Hollywood searches for the next James Bond. One actor has thrown his hat into the ring for on who that actor is and when the studio says that they hope to announce who this next bond will be. But before all of that, we're heading back to Oak Creek where our Brian Cramp is checking out a fan favorite dessert. Why this item has been on the menu for 35 years. That's after the break. All right, good morning everybody. Taking a live look at MKE. Man, if you got friends or family who are coming to see us this week, I hope that they bring a lot of layers because today is gonna be like a light jacket day. I think later on in the week, I may bring out the sleeping bag jacket for the first time. Yeah, I think it's gonna be that cold. Lisa's got the details on what this polar vortex Could bring. I hate the sound of that, but I guess it is November. That's coming up in weather first. Well, the Packers win big over the Patriots on Sunday, scoring a whopping 45 points. But don't forget the defense. They had four takeaways on their way to a dominant victory. Tim Van Voorhen caught up with the players who are feeling pretty good after that performance. Hard to blame them. Hey, don't look now. The Packers defense starts quickly, then takes control against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Four takeaways to none. That's a big way to win. Green Bay asserts itself early on. Xavier McKinney's interception opening the floodgates. Yeah, super important. I think when we're able to affect the game early. You know, that changes the momentum of the game. We get those turnovers, allows our offense to get the ball back and go down there and score. And obviously, you know, you were able to see, like, the momentum shift early from the jump. Can't say enough about JG just dialing up stuff and getting pressure on the quarterback. And then the guys up front wrecking havoc and getting to the quarterback. That was a big thing going into this game. And it allows our guys on the back end to make plays. I mean, our defense has been super disruptive, have a lot of good blitzes. All the guys on the back end are taking the ball away, getting pressure. Sure. We like to think we're confusing a lot of people and just making life hard for the opposing offenses. So I think we just got to keep doing what we're doing. Nick Neiman pressed into service by yet another injury. He delivers the defense disruptive, the Packers, convincingly in the win column. At Gillette Stadium, Tim Van Voorhen in Fox 6 Sports. And the Packers are back on Fox 6 next Sunday where they're taking on the Vikings. Kickoff for that one is at noon. A little bit of a border battle there. That's followed by the 49ers taking on the Cowboys. And be sure to stick around for all the highlights and the reaction on the Fox 6 Sports Blitz. As always, that one is Sunday night at 1030. Man, yeah, it was a great weekend to be a Wisconsin sports fan. Oh, yeah. Like, it's just been a great couple of months to be a Wisconsin sports fan. Yeah, we had the Badgers winning on Saturday. I know. Packer Sunday. We just need to keep the good vibes going and the wins coming, especially with some of the weather that's going to change in the upcoming days. Maybe it'll help our sports teams out. You know, we're masters at playing in the cold. We're better than Wisconsinites. Let's talk about the weather because it is a little chilly this morning as well. We have lots of sun, some upper-level cirrus clouds. Nothing in terms of major impacts right now, but bigger changes will come into play as we head into Veterans Day on Wednesday and beyond. So this just means. You have to enjoy today and tomorrow while the nice weather holds. Satellite and radar shows that we have very calm conditions other than just some of the thinner clouds moving in. Thicker clouds off to our northwest, closer to that warm front. And while we aren't seeing much in terms of precipitation with this system, we will have an impact in our temperatures. That's because this warm front is going to lift north of us as we move into this afternoon and evening. And that's going to keep our temperatures on the warmer side. So let's dig into some of this on Sky Vision Plus. We'll continue to have partly sunny skies throughout your day. Winds will gradually change out of the southwest 5 to 10 miles an hour. Then we continue to hang on to a southerly wind, a little stronger tonight as well. That will keep our temperatures warmer. Now that's unique because normally when we have clear skies at night, our temperatures... Drop quickly, but we are not looking at having that case. Could we still see some upper 30s tomorrow morning? Yes, but I do think we are going to stay out of the freezing territory, which is something we've had for quite a few mornings now. No longer at 32 anywhere, but we're still seeing some 30s inland. 30s near the lakefront by Milwaukee and more low to mid 40s spreading around so that frost continues to melt. Our temperatures continue to warm and we should be well above average today yet again in the mid to upper 50s. It's possible to maybe see an isolated 60 degrees out there. If we don't today, we could also carry that into tomorrow as well. But the mild air is just going to sit across most of the United States for the first two days of this week. Then we talk about the shift in the jet stream, and it's going to be a big shift as this trough pushes it further south, cold air trailing with it, and that chilly air is going to have a bigger impact than what you may like as we head into the end of the work week. While the temperatures will be cool and we'll get to those numbers coming up, we also have to watch the winds. We are looking at having strong winds by the end of the week, moving north over the warm waters of the Great Lakes. That is likely going to create some lake effect precipitation. Most of this should stay in the form of rain, but we might get cold enough air to change some of this over to some snowflakes. No accumulation here, but we can't rule out the chance of maybe some flurries in the forecast by the end of the week, which will be the first of the season. So, yes, warmer temperatures. Enjoy today, tomorrow. We get more into the low 50s and some showers Wednesday, then very chilly by the end of the week. Could be feeling like the low 30s. Well, the banana split is a classic dessert, and at Georgie Porgy's, it's been on the menu for 35 years. Brian Cramp is in Oak Creek with the customer favorite. This sounds delicious. Oh yeah, I mean it all starts with the frozen custard, right guys, which I need to get a sample of. Pete, do you mind? Let's do it! Let's do it, Brad! Scoop it! We've been here for like three hours! Right here, look at this. Oh, there's nothing better than fresh frozen custard coming out of that machine. And this is one of those OG machines, too. It goes back to the 70s. This is one of those Leon's machines. It sure is. It's an original Leon's machine. That's some amazing frozen custard. I mean, and that's what a banana split's got to start with. Go ahead, layer it up. Let's do it. Let's do it. We got a banana here. I'm going to take it. Here, banana. And I like that the bananas aren't, like, overly ripe or still green. That's right, a little bit, yeah. But the best flavor, you can still cut it if that frozen custard gets it cooled down. So they kind of sit at the bottom there. Yes. Now, this has been a staple for you guys for 35 years, too. How many do you think you, if you had to guess, how many do you think you make, like, A month or a year. Well, that's a good question. I'll be honest with you. A lot. I would say a lot. A lot. I think, you know, it's got that. Why do we make a lot of them? Clearly. It's got that classic vibe to it. You know what I mean? It does. You know, it's got that, you know. Yeah, but some banana splits skimp. And I'm just seeing three huge scoops. for yours and this trough right yeah i mean that's essentially what it is now you're going to feed it with more substances yeah first there oh well you got to put the the Hershey's chocolate syrup there chocolate syrup so that goes on one and then we got to put a strawberry strawberry goes on the other yeah this is the strawberry that's good I'll tell you what, and all along I'm smelling the burgers in the background. Oh, that's delicious. For you guys, this must be a hazard for you to work here, because all you want to do is eat the food. Pineapple? Hey, we've got some pineapple. Yum. Yeah. Then we're going to put some. You're sprinkling on top. Now I've got to ask you this, because you have the frozen custard machine back there. What happens when it goes down? Do you got a guy? Do you got a girl? Who do you got? Who do you have? It's a specialized. So you guys are doing the maintenance on it? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And then we put a little bit of whipped cream on here. Use that a little, Pete. Oh, yeah. That's a lot. That's a lot. Don't forget the cherries here. Don't forget the cherry on top. You guys are making. This 35th celebration, even more fun because you have some specialty items. If you missed it earlier on, we should probably turn around and check out some of those specialty items there. On the list, if you didn't see it earlier on, the pastrami sandwich. That's the one you find in that Shortino's roll. Maz Malibu Chicken with the ham right next to it. And then, of course, we're making the Banana Split, and that burger of the month right there is steak and much more steak on top. So, I have to hold this one. Sample, I got to make sure, Pete, that it's okay for you to continue serving this thing. I'm going to go kind of across the board and just swoop it. There we go. Look at all three there. A little whip on top. That's a lot to eat for one person, but I'm up to the task. And I appreciate you guys so much. You know that. The community appreciates it. Whether it's Racine or it's Oak Creek, congratulations to you, the family, the team. 35 years. What an anniversary. Come by Georgie Porgy's and help them celebrate all month long. More Fox 6 Wake Up after the break. A little smiley face. Fox 6 Wake Up News, Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show.

So remember to grab a layer as you head out the door. November 8th, but radio stations across the country are making the switch to Christmas music, including some right here in Milwaukee. But is it too early? Well, Fox 6 spoke with Joe Kraus at B97.3, who assures us it's not. We do it because, you know, it has to do with the weather. It has to do with Milwaukee tradition. We have so many great traditions here in Milwaukee. And yes, people do say it's a little bit early, but you're seeing the stuff in the stores. You're getting that little chill like you guys were talking about with the weather. And it's just time to do it and continue that wave from our brewers right into Christmas music.
