FOX6 WakeUp News at 8 | Nov. 10, 2026

Trusted Morning News Show. Good morning. Good morning. Happy Tuesday. A lovely start to the day. It's going to be beautiful today. I know today is a very happy Tuesday with all this blue sky and sunshine. Take a live look at our day. It's kind of hard to complain. Look at this. It's a gorgeous shot as we check out the scene from Estabrook Park looking down across the city out over the lake. Right now it's 48 degrees, which is a very mild morning. The average high this time of year is only 50. So we're almost there already. Light northwest breeze at around nine miles per hour and it will stay light and turn a little more westerly as we go through the afternoon. Afternoon highs today should climb back up into the 60s. We hit 60 yesterday. I'm thinking 62 today with all this extra sun throughout the day. We do get into some rain as soon as tomorrow and maybe a chance on Thursday as well. So far the weekend is looking fantastic. Today is the 10th day of November. It is Sesame Street Day. We talked about that earlier. It's also World Science Day for peace and development, using, of course, science for all of those objectives. Beautiful day to have a little science experiment, maybe. 62 degrees. All right. Sounds good, Rob. Thank you so much. Taking a very quick check now at your roads here. We are seeing congestion pick up, especially on 94-headed I'm excited. East right now due to construction. Also something to make you aware of. 894 West at 60th the right lane is blocked. This is due to debris, not a crash, so crews are working to clear that up for you. Elsewhere, we're not seeing anything major. Really quick check now. It's your drive time to see how all this is breaking down. Uh... Late into downtown, 12 minutes. It's showing red. I don't really know why. 12 minutes isn't bad for that area. The slowdown right now is 94 headed west, though. 26 minutes to go from downtown to Moreland. Please drive safe wherever it is that you are headed this morning. All right, a quick look right now onto some local stories making nationwide headlines. New details about a plane crash in Kentucky that killed a pilot from Waukesha County. The local sheriff's office says 70-year-old James Michaels from Dousman was flying the plane that you see right there in the photo on the left. Michael stopped to refuel Sunday. Then shortly after taking off, he radioed that he was having some sort of issue. Right before his plane went down in a field, federal investigators are on scene looking into what happened. We also have new information on a death investigation out in West Bend. Police identified the suspect found dead, along with three other people at a home on Saturday, as being 54-year-old David Slonikowski. Police sources tell Fox 6 that he is a former Milwaukee police officer who retired more than a decade ago. The victims in this case include a woman, a boy, and a girl. And a girl, another girl, was sent to the hospital where she is still recovering. Investigators say she is in stable condition and police have not yet released a motive. While attempted getaway caught on camera in Manitowoc County, a 27 year old man slammed into a squad car after being pulled over early Sunday morning. The sheriff's office said he was speeding and he may have been impaired. The driver sped off, but he was arrested a few miles down the road. Turning after a big story this morning at eight o'clock, the University of Mississippi is condemning and investigating this video that appears to show white students making racist gestures and sounds outside the apartment of a black student. Now this video has been spread all across social media and Fox 6 News has learned that one of the people involved here has ties to a local car dealership. Stephanie Cork is live in the newsroom with those details. Good morning, Steph. Good morning. We know millions of people have now watched the video on social media, but here in Wisconsin, it's also reigniting questions about Kunis Auto Group. The video shows two students making racist gestures outside a black student's apartment at the University of Mississippi. And two current employees of Kunis tell Fox 6 that one of those students is the daughter of a company executive. There's also a local history here, As Fox 6 has previously reported on a biracial woman who found the N-word printed on her oil change sticker after a Kunis dealership serviced her car. Kunis said an employee, who was later fired, printed it as a joke. Yesterday, Brea Jones spoke with Carolyn Ward and her attorney, William Solton. Ward says a sales representative at the Elkhorn location sent her text messages last year that included racist memes. She says this latest incident brings back painful memories. I think people are right to draw this connection, right? This is racist behavior. This isn't just a family issue because of the nature of the misconduct here, but they should come out and do the right thing and say, hey, my daughter made a mistake. We don't believe in this and we're going to do something about it. Kunis Auto Group is responding. A spokesperson shared a statement about the Ole Miss controversy. That statement reads in part, quote, The individual in the video has no employment, ownership, or professional affiliation. With Kunis Auto Group, we do not comment on private citizens unaffiliated with the company. The University of Mississippi also shared a statement condemning this behavior depicted in the video. They added they are taking the matter seriously. Back to you guys. All right, Steph, thanks. Hopefully we will hear from at least the family condemning the actions of that family member. So we're waiting to see with that. Stephanie, thank you. All right, some political coverage right now. Less than a week since David Crowley was elected governor, a candidate is already announcing a campaign for his old post as Milwaukee County executive. County Board Chairwoman Marcella Nicholson-Bavell will become acting county exec when Crowley steps down at the end of this year. She then plans to run in a special election to serve out the remainder of his term, which ends in April of 2028. And an early salute today to local veterans. Now, Veterans Day, of course, is tomorrow. But later on this morning, there's an event going on at Milwaukee's VA Medical Center. The ceremony will start at 11 o'clock this morning. There's going to be keynote speakers, live music, and a lunch to follow. Well, more Wisconsin veterans are soon going to be able to take a ride on the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight. The program just announced applications are now open to vets who served during the Cold War and Desert Storm eras. The honor flight offers retired military members free trips to D.C. to visit the memorials that honor their service. The first new wave of vets is set to fly next year. Well, near this morning, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Cathedral Square. Dozens of kids will be out in the park this morning decorating Christmas trees all for the holidays. And it's just one of the holiday happenings that's happening today in our area. Andrew Amuzo is live downtown with a sneak peek. Hey, Andrew. Hey Derica, we are here at Cathedral Square Park aka Community Spirit Park. Just let me let me step aside because you can see obviously the day the the sunlight is already out and it looked a little bit nicer and more clear when it was a little bit darker but it still looks very beautiful here. You see this full display of holiday decorations here at the community park and because it's a community park the community is going to get involved too. Especially in regards to schools and local nonprofits. Here's what we are learning. This is all part of the 27th Annual Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival. And about more than 130 evergreen trees, they were delivered here at this park. Now nearly 100 schools and nonprofits organizations will decorate all across this area here. And decorating will happen from November 11th through the 19th, so they have about a week or so, a little bit more than that. They'll be using handmade ornaments representing class themes and even wishes, and this is just part of a series of festivals in the downtown area. And they will be open, these parks will be open, all these displays will be open from November 20th through January 1st, and the official kickoff will be on Thursday, November 20th. But wait, there's more, especially if you are a Starbucks lover, they have something brewing for you as well. They are launching what they're calling the Biggest Ever Barista Drop. the barista gold cup it's a surprise box edition they're calling it and it begins today and uh it's only going to be at participating starbucks coffee houses but overall what you can expect with that there's five glass characters glass cups and uh they're ranging from rainy joy aspen bunny goldie the price is about forty dollars per box so make sure you're you are aware of that at the checkout line and it is while supplies last but last but not least You cannot forget about the 98th edition We Energies' cookie book. There's only so much time left until they are out of them. But they said this year, the theme is Baking Spirits Bright. There's 38 recipes. It's been a six-week process to narrow down hundreds and hundreds of submissions. And they are definitely ready to kick off this holiday season as well. I spoke with one of the spokespersons from We Energies' over the weekend. Here's what they have to say about the tradition. We hand out over 26,000 cookie books at this very event every year. Last year, overall, at our 24 different distribution events, we handed out 230,000. So I think that really just speaks to the tradition and love of this cookie book. All right, you guys asked for it in the previous show. I think my head is actually a little too big to fit in here. I think I got it. The sun is here. You have good lighting on your top. Oh, that looks so cute. I put that on a Christmas card. Okay, it does. It looks nice. It looks good. It looks nice like this. He's got his little glitter antler. Okay, there we go. I do want to say one quick thing, though, because this is truly one of many. I think this is so funny that I'm doing this on the morning show, but we can do this kind of stuff. Tis the season, right? It is, and I think it's fun because it brings out your inner child. You know, you're getting ready for the season. Before you go, though, when it comes to the kids, how many schools are coming out there? How many kids are coming out to decorate those trees today? What we are hearing from organizers, I actually got word from them recently, just about an hour ago, they said there's going to be about seven schools that are going to be coming out today. That leaves about 94 for the rest of the period of decorating, but seven schools will be here today. I love it. I love he answered the question in the reindeer. Andrew, you were awesome. See you in just a bit. Sure, career first for Andrew. All right. Well, hey, speaking of, you know, holiday initiatives, our Fox 6 Coats for Kids drive is back. A tradition that is beloved at our station. You can drop off a new or gently loved winter coat at Steinhafel's, Landmark Credit Union, or Salvation Army through December 6th. Or you can just scan that QR code on your screen and you can safely donate money that's going to be used to buy a brand new coat for our campaign. For more information about Coats for Kids, just go to fox6now.com. All right, 8-11 right now on this Tuesday morning. Still ahead on Wake Up, we are marking more than a half century since one of the most infamous moments in Great Lakes history. And a power struggle in our nation's capital. Find out why one Wisconsin senator says that he is ready to walk out on a high-profile vote. And smoke and flames along Milwaukee's lakefront will explain why wildlife officials are burning a popular park on purpose. Plus, the new spot serving up a taste of the Caribbean right in downtown Milwaukee. We're going to check in on Brian Cramp, who's live at Up a Yard on Water Street. Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Good morning, good morning. Taking a live look here out of our Estabrook Park camera. A gorgeous day along the Lake Michigan shoreline here. You are headed out, though, for a stroll down Lake Drive, maybe going to hit the beach. Definitely want to bundle up a little bit. It is still deceptively chilly. We are in the 40s right now. Well, speaking of the lakefront, you may see smoke and flames coming from Milwaukee's lakefront today. The DNR is going to be conducting a prescribed burn at Lakeshore State Park. The burn targets invasive plants and releases nutrients back into the soil. Heads up, if you walk or exercise in the area, the main island portion of the park is going to be closed and access may be limited during burn operations. Well, today marks 51 years since one of the worst nautical disasters in Great Lakes history. Back on November 10th, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank during a storm on Lake Superior, killing all 29 crew members aboard. The freighter was traveling from Superior, Wisconsin, to a steel mill near Detroit, Michigan. The exact cause of the wreck is still unknown. It was immortalized by a Gordon Lightfoot song released a year. After that tragedy and you can learn more about the Edmund Fitzgerald and her final voyage on Fox Local Gales of November, the final voyage of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It's a documentary produced by Fox six. It dives deep into the history and legacy of this Midwest legend. You could stream it on demand on Fox Local and the Fox six Milwaukee YouTube page. I know you are so interested too in what happened with that. I mean, it's a fascinating story, right? And it's something I think People displaced in time because you think of shipwrecks as being something that's very, very long time ago. It's only 51 years ago today. So this is still a modern, you know, piece of history, and the changes in the weather community have been so dramatic. It's fascinating to think if we had 2026 technology in 1975, would we have been able to give them a better marine forecast and maybe save the lives of those 29 folks on that ship? We'll never know, but it is fascinating to kind of dig into the science and think about. I'm going to take you up to Paradise, Michigan, which is up on Whitefish Point. You know the song, if you do, some folks, they say they'd have made Whitefish Bay if they'd put 15 more miles behind her. So, Whitefish Bay is just past Whitefish Point up on Lake Superior. You can see it there on the current satellite and radar. And what a very different day it is 51 years later. Now, closer to home, you've got the Lake Michigan shoreline looking very, very nice from Sheboygan. And nothing on the satellite and radar. High pressure keeping us calm. And we're in behind a cold front, but it's not all that cold. It's more of a wind shift than anything else. And we'll stay very mild throughout the day today. A low coming in tomorrow, a pretty weak one, but it does generate a few showers. And then we start watching a different lake. We start watching Lake Michigan for Thursday. Let's go look ahead with Sky Vision Plus. Now, short term, we've got a west and northwest breeze, pretty easygoing conditions, very calm as we go through the afternoon and early evening, and staying dry into the overnight. Now, as we go into our Wednesday, that system does push in. And by 8, 9 o'clock, we'll likely see some showers. It does move through pretty quickly, so most of the afternoon should be dry and we start to clear up a little bit in the evening. Only briefly before we start to get more active on Thursday again. Highs today well above average. Should hit the low 60s. We'll drop back down to the 40s tonight. That puts us well above the averages of 50 and 35 for the climate period. Not quite record territory. So only four years ago, we tied the all-time November record and set the record for the date at 77 degrees. Now, the cooler air that settles in here for Thursday, Thursday night and into Friday, that coming down across the warmer water of Lake Michigan, It generates some lake effect precipitation, mostly staying out over Lake Michigan and over into the other shore here as the wind stays north and even turns northwest. But any slight turn to the northeast, like is briefly depicted here on the Fox weather model, may give us just a little taste of that, maybe even a brief wintry mix. But I don't expect this to be a major event. Nothing like what we saw a year ago today. This was us. Back in 2023, depending on where you were, areas near the lake on November 9th and 10th picked up several inches worth of snow, and then a couple miles farther inland away from the lake, it was just leaves being raked. While other folks were rocking the snowblowers at the same time. So our Fox 6-Day Planner is full of weather history today, but it's an easy one for us. Sunshine and 62 for our Tuesday. 54 as we check out our Veterans Day forecast with some scattered showers. 44 with a slight chance if that lake effect reaches a little farther inland. We'll keep an eye on it for Thursday. And then we settle down. 44 Friday should be mid to upper 40s and dry for a beautiful November weekend. Our homes hold the story of our lives. And Renewal by Andersen 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 6 WakeUp News, Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Can't decide what to order when you dine out? Up a Yard is dishing out some big Jamaican flavors that are worth sharing. Brian Cramp is checking out the specialty combos and also homestyle favorites at this new downtown hot spot. Hey, Cramp. Yeah, Derrick, there's a lot to be shared here. I'll tell you what, the portions are pretty big. John, one of the things that I noticed about the dishes that are coming out, A lot of food is on the dish, you know, and whether you want to get a starter and share one for each guest, or whether you want to get a plate like this and just have people pick, I think you can do that. What did Dominique just bring to the table? Is that your pepper steak? This is our pepper steak. This is a specialty that we have on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and our clients run to the Up Yard just to get this feast when it arrives on those dates. I'm telling you, she brought that out. I immediately could smell that pepper. It wasn't like overbearing in any way. It kind of blended. It blended well with the actual green peppers that are on the plate, too. When it comes to the dishes, you could just do smaller portions. Why do you go big? We go big because we want to make certain that our clients are full before they leave. Keep in mind the name Up a Yard and how it came about. And so Big Mama was making all these feasts. She made them for 12 children. So the aunts in the back, you have together six brothers, six sisters, and of them, there They had to all be fed, so mom made foods big and plentiful, so when Oliver started his business, he wanted to make certain that he led that same scenario on to his audience. He wants to make certain that you are fed well and that you leave with a smile. I know that Oliver had a food truck initially and then got the location, moved to Fond du Lac 13 years ago or so, and we're here at the new location today. Up a Yard, you kind of gave a little explanation of it. It comes from Jamaica, though, right? That is correct. And the location, or is it, the Up a Yard is like mom's house? So Up a Yard is mom's house, right? So that would be Oliver's grandmother. Okay. And with that being stated, due to the fact that they did have the Upper Yard there, that is the first original place for the Upper Yard before coming to the States. Yeah, I didn't know that. So those traditions, those recipes are really rooted back in Jamaica And then brought here, just talking to Tina, in the kitchen, which she didn't allow me to go into the kitchen because those recipes are under lock and key. I appreciate that. You know, like I said earlier on, you hold it close to the chest. But she kind of nonchalantly said, oh, no, not my recipes, my grandma's recipes. And she's the auntie of Oliver. So you can tell there's multiple generations, four generations of family members. These recipes go back in time. So I now know why you don't know all the recipes there, John. Do you have a favorite? So when I talk with Oliver and you ask Oliver Edwards what is his favorite recipe as far as food selection, he's going to say everything. Everything. Everything. That's all you needed to say there, everything. And we're going to get to everything else on the menu. When it comes to the beverages, you can see they are traditional here from Jamaica. And we have more to see at Upper Yard on Water with the cocktails they're serving. We're going to come back later on in the 8 o'clock hour and show you some of those. Tasty beverages. Congrats on the opening, guys. More Fox 6 Wake Up after the break here. Fox 6 Wake Up News, Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. It's 8.30 now on your Tuesday, and the sun is shining nice and bright. Yes, so brightly we can't actually use our deck shot right now. It's shining right into the lens and on the green screen out there. So I have to be inside, and then I'll go immediately out on the deck. It is one of those kind of days you want to maximize your exposure to as we take a live look at our day today. Look at all that blue sky and sunshine. Find a way to get out there and enjoy. It is already 48, and that's, you know. Not exactly a balmy June day, but it's a pretty warm November day already and we'll keep warming up from these mid to upper 40s well into the low 60s. We're already 1011 degrees warmer than we were yesterday at this time and tons of sunshine. Nothing to get in the way of the sun. We are behind this cold front, but it's had very little impact. We'll get back to the low 60s. We hit 60 yesterday. I think 62 for the day today. Sun sticks around only until 433 though. So narrow window there. Take advantage. Lots of sun. Done for the morning drive, so grab the shades if you're driving east. All right, taking a very quick check now at your roads. We are seeing some pretty hefty slowdowns right now. A 94 headed east. It'll take you 20 minutes to go from Moreland to downtown. Please drive safe wherever it is that you're headed. I don't know why my traffic boxes are looking all wonky like that. All right. On to our big story right now. This morning, the University of Mississippi is calling it deeply troubling, hurtful, and unacceptable. Videos spreading on social media appearing to show white students making racist gestures and sounds outside of an apartment of a black student. Well, we know the school has launched an investigation, and one of those people involved has ties to a local car dealership. Our Stephanie Cork is joining us now live with the latest. And Steph, this is not the first time that this dealership has come under fire. No, it's not. In fact, Kuhn's Auto Group has previously faced complaints involving racism towards black customers. Now this viral video's connection to the Wisconsin-based dealership is raising new questions about the company and its leadership. Here you see it. The video shows two students making racist gestures outside of a black student's apartment at the University of of Mississippi, two people who currently work for Kuhn. Kuhn is telling Fox 6 one of those students is the daughter of a company executive and for some former customers, this is bringing back experiences they say they've never forgotten. Fox 6 previously reported on a biracial woman who found the N-word on her oil change sticker at a dealership. The dealership called it a joke by an employee who was later fired. But then yesterday, Arbria Jones sat down with a woman and her attorney who says a sales representative at Kunis Elkhorn location sent her text messages last year that included memes of a bear and an ape in bikinis. She says the Ole Miss video has brought back those horrible experiences. And we go out there to purchase cars thinking that we are going to get the type of respect that we deserve. And then this is the type of thing that happens. And Kunis Auto Group is responding to this Ole Miss controversy. They sent a statement to Fox 6 that reads, in part, quote, The individual in the video has no employment, ownership, or professional affiliation with Kunis Auto Group. We do not comment on private citizens unaffiliated with the company. As for the family, we did reach out by phone and got no answer. I wanted to ask you, too, what the university is saying, because these are current students there. Yeah. They did condemn the behavior that's depicted in the video in a statement shared. They also said they're taking the matter seriously. We don't know specifics, though, about, you know, any disciplinary actions that will be taken against the student as they cited privacy laws there. So still yet to hear from the student as well. All right, Steph, thank you. Well, a quick look at some of the other top local headlines, new details in a double shooting that left a Milwaukee woman dead. 20-year-old Amaya Walls was killed last month near 43rd and Good Hope. 39-year-old Timothy Taylor is charged in this case, but police are still looking for him. A second woman was also shot, but she survived. She shared what happened with Fox 6 News. We concealed her identity because Taylor is still on the run. We heard the car. Screech up like the screeching of his wheels and she was yelling for him to get away from her and I was yelling at her, my mace spray, before she could pull away he shot her. A fundraiser has been set up to cover Wall's funeral expenses. If you would like to help, you can find a link on the Fox Local app. Well, a pest problem is developing in Milwaukee's River West neighborhood. Some neighbors are worried that a free food table at the Bremen Community Garden is attracting rats and mice. A complaint was filed over the weekend with the city. Volunteers say that they have discouraged people from leaving perishable items in the past. Well, looking ahead to the NFL trade deadline, it's set for 3 p.m. today. The Packers could look to add a running back. The team announced Monday that running back Josh Jacobs is out indefinitely after breaking his finger during Sunday's game against the Patriots. Not necessarily. I think, you know, there's a good chance that Chris Brooks will be back. We'll So it was encouraging to see what Caleb did out there. And certainly, Marshawn's played for us as well as Pierre. be Well, the Packers are back on Fox 6 this weekend. right They host the Vikings Sunday at Lambeau Field. Kickoff is scheduled for noon. Across America now, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is trying to save his job. back. That's right. He held his first news conference this morning in more than six months after a Republican congressman from Kentucky filed articles of impeachment over Hegseth's role in the Iran war, among other things. The defense secretary claims the impeachment is about policy disagreements, not high crimes. There's a lot of politically motivated people who may have substantial policy disagreements, but their disagreements are with success. A vote on the Hegseth impeachment is expected later this week in the House. The case could then move to the Senate, where a two-thirds majority vote would be needed to remove him from office. Later today, House Republicans are scheduled to hold leadership elections. Current Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Representative Jim Jordan are running after meeting last week's massive midterm losses. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would not seek re-election. And on the Senate side, Wisconsin Republican Ron Johnson is promising to walk out rather than vote today. Johnson is among a group of GOP lawmakers calling for leadership elections to be delayed so they have more time to figure out what went wrong in the midterms. He shared this message on social media, reading, quote, I simply won't participate in business as usual. An election defeat of this magnitude demands change. Two people are arrested after back-to-back security scares near the White House. Video shows a car smoking after the driver crashed into a historical marker Monday morning at Lafayette Park. Another man jumped over a White House barricade in a different location at around the same time. They tried hitting the windows, the guy wouldn't get out. Eventually, somehow they got the door popped open, and when they did, he went to fight them, he was throwing his arms, went down on the ground. They ended up having to pick him up by his arms, his legs, and move him over to the ground. Now, the White House was briefly locked down as a precaution. The Secret Service has not said whether there's a connection between these two incidents. And Florida investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder from a deadly private jet crash earlier this month near West Palm Beach. All nine people on board were killed. Debris from the plane was found more than a mile away. A preliminary report is expected in about a month. It has been exactly 14 months since political activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at an event. Well, now we know when the man accused of firing the weapon will stand trial. Haley joins us in the Live Center with the details a Utah judge decided. Good morning. Yeah, good morning, Nicola and Derica. It was on September 10th of last year that Charlie Kirk was holding an event at Utah Valley University. Moments into that speaking engagement, a shot was fired from a nearby roof, ultimately hitting and killing Kirk. Tyler Robinson, who at the time was 22, was arrested and now faces seven criminal charges. And two months ago, he pleaded not guilty. Well, Robinson was back in court yesterday. That is when Judge Tony Graff set the trial to begin June 21st, 2028. And that date, it's really a compromise between what the state and the defense were asking for. State said they would be ready as early as October 2027. However, they were fine with waiting until after the holidays, knowing that might be difficult to seat a jury. Instead, they asked for a trial to begin in January of 2028. Meanwhile, the defense asked for a much later start date, asking for late 2029. Also, an important component here, Charlie's widow, Erica Kirk, she had asked for the earliest date possible in 2027. So one judge, Tony Graf, made that decision of June 2028. He explained why he thought that was fair for both parties. His trial setting and case management orders intent is to ensure that the constitutional rights of Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Kirk are upheld at every junction. Each party is treated with the dignity and respect they are due as they are human beings and that the Sixth Amendment right is protected. Well, Robinson faces multiple charges. The most serious being aggravated murder. That's a capital felony, meaning he could be eligible for the death penalty. And now, of course, the big question, how long is the trial going to last? Well, state prosecutors suggest 17 weeks. Meanwhile, the defense said it could take up to seven months. So ultimately, yesterday, the judge set aside 105 days in the calendar. He said, though, that could be expanded as needed. Thank you. All right. Haley, thank you. On to your health watch this morning. The new warning for people using the popular GLP-1 weight loss medications, the ones like Ozempic and Wegovy. The Food and Drug Administration is requiring warning labels on the drugs, alerting users to potential increased risk of rare eye conditions that can cause permanent vision loss. Regulators say the risk is low. The condition causes reduced blood flow to the optic nerve. In your business watch this morning, just in time for the holidays, Sony is going back to the future. for its new line of headphones. What do they say? Everything that's old is new again? Yes. So the company is bringing back these, the MDR style headphones, which debuted with the Walkman back in 1979. There are some updates, including a USB-C jack so they can connect to smartphones and computers, of course. They'll set you back about $60. Not bad because I feel like those are very hardy headphones. You don't lose them like you do an AirPod. Well, Tesla is talking about refunds for people who ordered a Cybertruck. The electric car maker announced last week that it's going to end production of the vehicles by the middle of next year. Now, CEO Elon Musk claims that they have far more orders than they can produce in that time frame. According to sales figures reported by Bloomberg, only about 7,100 Cybertrucks were purchased in the U.S. during the first five months of this year. My gosh, they are so expensive. Every time I see one, I'm like, wow, good for you that you can afford that. All right, help is on the way for Thanksgiving hosts. Meet the Butterball Buddy. The turkey-shaped device is supposed to be like a game for guests. It sends pre-programmed alerts asking people to help with tasks like setting the table or doing the dishes. I kind of love this. Once that job is done, the guest passes the device to somebody else. Butterball is selling them on its website. The next drop is next Monday at noon, and the previous two batches have sold out in just two minutes. I can see why. I love this idea because you think about it. You have dozens of people in your home, and it's a good way to kind of clean up, get things done, and everyone plays a role. Oh, yeah. And you can't be like, oh, I don't want to do the dishes. It's like, well, the Butterball buddy told you, so don't look at me. All right, time to get you set up for Fox 6 Wake Up at 9. A mission to ensure local families have food on the table for the holidays. We are live at Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin with the campaign that's kicking off today, and you can also find out how you can help. And just in time for the holiday film season, a new sci-fi crime thriller about a government experiment gone wrong. Gino joins us to share his conversation with one of the stars. In the new movie, Model Citizen. And what's the big deal? We're going to break down the hottest items on everybody's list for those uber popular Black Friday sales. Can you believe that's two weeks from this Friday? I know, right? Got to get ready. Exactly. But for all that, Brian Cramp is on island time this morning. He's exploring the Jamaican flavors at the new Upper Yard location on Water Street. Good morning. Good morning. Taking a live look here over downtown Milwaukee. My goodness, it is so good to see the sunshine and beautiful blue skies as far as the eye can see. Looks like a gorgeous day. Feels pretty good. A bit chilly right now. 48 degrees here at 8:47. I gotta soak this up today because some big change is headed our way by Thursday. Well, Tuesday just got a whole lot tastier with Caribbean flavor in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. Brian Kramp is sampling some of the specialty drinks that you can find at Upper Yard on Water. Hey, Kramp, good morning to you. Yeah, Nicola, I'll tell you what, you know, just sitting here at the bar makes you want to dive into a Red Stripe. It's like going back to Jamaica when you first flew into Montego Bay, and it's like, there's Red Stripe there, the official beer. But this one I've never had, so this is pretty popular, too. You've got to have that. You've got to have the Red Stripe or the Dragon Style. Yeah. Hey, Dominique, I tell you, you've been with the family working for quite some time. What is it about Upper Yard that stands out as a fun place to go with great food? Because we have our good customers that always come for the food, the hangout, you know, for the drinks. Right. This is a new location, though. So, I mean, this opened in August. The vibe must be a little different from the Fond du Lac Ave location. No, it's just the only thing that's different. It's a little bit bigger. Bigger. Okay. Good to know. And you make those drinks, too. It's like you're down on an island. Right? If you can't get there, come on in. It's a beach drink, right? Yes. Poolside. You've got to get something flavorful. But you also do the espresso martinis, too. Espresso martinis. Okay. Now, is that an old-fashioned up front? That's old-fashioned. Ooh, heavy on the olives. I like that idea. Make sure. Hey, come get it. Whiskey or brandy. Choose your choice. Yeah. Now, some of the specialty drinks that you guys have are in the machine back there. So what are the machine drinks, the machine-ready drinks you have? So I have the Jamaican Rum Punch. Okay. The strawberry Hennessy and the regular margarita. All you need is a swim up bar. We need a pool, we need a swim up bar, and we're good to go. Tell me about the food and the combination of flavors with the drinks. It just works out, doesn't it? It just goes hand in hand. Sometimes you can go choose a beer if you feel like beer to go with the food. If you want something just to spice it up, you know, to cool the spice down, go with one of the Mai Tais or our famous Palomo that we have, and it's Upper Yard Special. Yeah, the Upper Yard Special. Now, as we go down, are you going to make something for us? I saw you grab for something. What is that? This is the Jamaican tings, so when we make the palomas, it's our own, because instead of using what everybody else uses, we use our choice of tequila, and then we use our grapefruit sparkling drink. I saw that you also bring in the flavors of Jamaica on the non-alcoholic side over to the left as well. You don't feel like drinking? Yeah. Come on over, we have a wide variety of sodas. And we have juices. Well, I love that. Why do you love working at Upper Yard? I know you bounce around a little bit too, but it's family, right? Yes. Yeah. But I just love working here with my family, the co-workers, the food, you know, serve out good food and known for being the best, you know, place to have the Caribbean food. Yeah. We have the best drinks. They have me, the mixologist. I give good customer service, and I just love being here, and I love what I do. Well, I think a lot of people are going to love the fact that you have another location. If they didn't know about it, they do now. Also on Water Street here, 1130 is when you guys open. Today, you're ready for lunch. The only day you're not open is on Sundays. It's the old BW3's location on Water Street, Fox Local. For more information, and by the way, you have that Bloody Mary right there? There's jerk chicken in there. I think you just put it over the top, without a doubt. And it's made with our own, in-home, in-store made jerk sauce. So when you want that little zing, it's inside of there. And you can't get it at the stores. You have to come here, literally, to get the sauce. You convinced me. So good. Thanks, Dominique. You're welcome. Worth the trip for sure. Oh my god, it's like a half and a drink in one. It's one of those things like you want to eat there and then you're like, I'm going to take some food home. I'm going to eat that tomorrow too. They had some Jamaican patties earlier. That was my after bar food of choice for a long time. A little soak up. Going down memory lane today. Alright, I'm going to take you down memory lane again back to 2020. Don't worry, I don't want to talk about that part of 2020. This is the weather part of 2020 today. Six years ago, we got hit with a massive windstorm. Wind gusts 50, 60 miles per hour. Did some significant damage, you can see right there. Many areas got hit. It was a widespread straight-line windstorm for the most part. Walworth County got hit very hard, Lake Geneva area as well. So much, much calmer by comparison. We go up to the shores of Lake Superior. You can see some pretty calm conditions up at La Pointe, Wisconsin. And then you've got Lake Michigan off in the distance from Sheboygan. Beautiful blue sky up overhead. At Newburgh. Now, very little to worry about today. High pressure is the dominant player. It's going to keep us calm. It's going to keep us comfy. Even that cold front really doesn't do much other than shift the wind. We still end up well above average today. Tomorrow, a system moves in with some showers. Shouldn't be an all day thing. Should be pretty brief. Hopefully it doesn't disrupt anything associated with Veterans Day and then some colder air kicks in and we start watching Lake Michigan. So let's go look ahead with Sky Vision Plus. Now short term here we've got that northwest breeze. You can see very clear conditions, more of a westerly breeze at times in the afternoon and staying dry right through the night tonight into early Wednesday morning. By 8, 9 o'clock, showers move through. They get out of here pretty quickly. Early afternoon, we dry up again, maybe a stray sprinkle, and then we continue to dry into Wednesday night. Now, the numbers, very kind to us. We climb up to near 60, maybe 62 degrees, drop back down into the 40s tonight. That puts us well above the climate normals of 50 and 35. Not record territory. It was only four years ago today that we tied the all-time high for a November day at 77 degrees. Back in 2022, now that cold air is coming in, though, for late week as it settles in over the warmer waters of Lake Michigan, it will start to generate some lake effect precipitation, predominantly rain or a wintry mix at times and mostly out over the lake with a more north turning northwest wind. But some models have this more of a north northeast wind like our own exclusive Fox weather model, and that might just briefly give us a taste of them. Precipitation before it moves it back out over the lake, takes it across the lake into parts of Michigan and northwestern Indiana. Now, in the longer range here, that colder air gets displaced, and we go back into an above-average stretch that goes well into the outlook here that gets us close to Thanksgiving in the 8- to 14-day trend. That above-average, of course. Is a lower bar because the actual average itself is cooling by the end of the month. The average high is only 41 degrees. So our Fox six day planner starting off strong here. Sixty two. Lots of sunshine today. Get out there and enjoy it. Then we get into a few scattered showers Wednesday. Hopefully the timing will work out for Veterans Day. Otherwise, at least a mild day at 54 cooling down and drying up as we go through Thursday and Friday. Both days should be around 44 degrees. And right now, the weekend looks very nice. A very comfortable November weekend in the mid to upper 40s with mostly sunny skies both Saturday and again for us on Sunday. Wake Up News, Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Wake Up as we take a live look outside here on your Tuesday morning from our city center camera. As you can see, the sun is shining. The sky is blue. We've got a high of 62 today, so we should have some seasonably... Unseasonably high temperatures, really. We're lucky. Getting spoiled here. We'll move over to March Madness. College football is expanding its playoff tournament from 12 to 24 teams next season. The new format will eliminate Power 4 conference championship games, so no more Big Ten title game for the Wisconsin Badgers. The start of the regular season will move up a week. The playoffs will start in early December, and that championship game will be played at the end of January. Well, new video shows surfers making winter waves on Lake Michigan. These guys were caught on camera in Chicago. Now the water is pretty calm, but they are still cruising across the water using motorized surfboards. Very cool. Fox 6 Wake Up News.
