FOX6 News at 9 | [Oct. 13, 2026]

Fox 6 News at 9. It started with a traffic stop, and video is getting a lot of traction on social media right now. We're going to show you what is on the video. It ended with Milwaukee police officers handcuffing a man. His lawyer is calling for accountability, but the Milwaukee Police Association says this is not the whole story. And we are one sleep away from the Brewers taking on the Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLCS. Our crews are back in California tonight, taking us through exactly what you can expect tomorrow and the big news regarding one of the Dodgers' star players. And a push to come back to Milwaukee. The city's Social Development Commission shut down more than two years ago amid financial scandals. Now, as it's trying to restart, we're going to take you through what's next. A big story tonight at 9. It began as a traffic stop for a license plate violation. And it ended with what you see there, Milwaukee police officers taking a man, handcuffed man, to the ground, punching him. And tonight, that man's family is demanding accountability. Abril Preciado is here. And Abril, some video of what happened is making the rounds online now. That's right. We don't see the start of the traffic stop or how it escalated, but we do see police take the 24-year-old Nicholas Beeman to the ground and punch him. Now, tonight, the family has hired a civil rights attorney, and you'll hear from him shortly. Meanwhile, the police union says that video doesn't show the whole story. It's just 35 seconds long, but a lot goes down quickly. This video, making its rounds on social media, shows Milwaukee police officers forcefully grab a man who's already in handcuffs. They then push him to the ground and repeatedly punch him. When I first saw the video, I will say that, unfortunately, I see a lot of encounters with law enforcement that don't turn out in a way that we would expect. But in this situation, I just couldn't rationalize it whatsoever. Attorney B. Ivory Lamar says the man is 24-year-old Nicholas Beeman, who he said is severely injured. Lamar says this all started last week at a traffic stop near Palmer and Keefe when officers pulled over a car for missing its front license plate. Lamar says Beeman was riding in the backseat next to a baby. I've spoken with three of the occupants in that vehicle, and what I'm hearing that is consistent is that the officers were very hostile at the very beginning of the stop, that they were very aggressive with them, and that is kind of what led to things escalating. In a statement Tuesday, the Milwaukee Police Association said the officer knew Beeman had a gun in his sweatshirt pocket, And though Beeman was handcuffed, the gun still could have caused deadly consequences. President Alex Ayala said the officer used controlled strikes, a defense and arrest tactic taught in the police academy, to obtain compliance. The strikes stopped immediately once compliance was achieved. Still, Lamar says Beeman is a legal gun owner. Just like every American who exercises their Second Amendment right to bear arms and has the appropriate permits to carry them. and that the officers went too far. And I appreciate the risk that they take on a daily basis. But I think it's also important to note that the authority to enforce the law does not also provide you the authority to disregard it. And Beeman is not currently in custody. Milwaukee police say the incident is currently under review but didn't immediately respond to our interview request tonight. Now, meanwhile, Lamar is calling on police to release the body camera video. He's holding a press conference on this tomorrow. In the newsroom, Abril Preciado, Fox 6 News. All right, Abril, we'll find out more then. Thank you. The Hobart Lawrence Police Department says it can release some redacted records from its misdemeanor battery investigation in a Packers running back, Josh Jacobs. But police won't release them just yet. Police Chief Michael Renkes says he's already heard back from attorneys in the case wanting to block their release. So, he's waiting for the legal process to now play out. State law requires the department to notify the people involved. They then have five days to inform the department that they aim to block their release, if that's what they want to do, and another five days to file a lawsuit to do that. In a letter to Fox 6, Rankin says the redacted records include police reports, body, and dash camera video. It's still unclear if the redacted video from Jacobs' garage, which reportedly shows Jacobs throwing his then-girlfriend to the ground, is included. Jacobs remains on the commissioner's exempt list, awaiting any punishment from the league. The Milwaukee County Agency, meant to help people out of recovery or out of poverty, which then ran out of money itself, is trying to make a comeback. Milwaukee's Social Development Commission abruptly shut down in 2024. Jason Kelby here in the studio tonight with how the SDC is trying to return, Jason. Yeah, trying to make that return, Mary. For 60 years, the SDC helped people in poverty with things like hot meals for kids, emergency rental assistance, and helping people get tax refunds. It got federal, state, county, and city money. It is a quasi-governmental entity authorized by state, county, and city legislation. but then it shut down with large unpaid bills and unpaid wages. Milwaukee's Social Development Commission shut down in April of 2024, leaving many stranded, including hundreds with uncompleted tax returns. At the time, the group's attorney said it needed to shut down because it couldn't make payroll and needed to review finances. That's painful. That's why it's my position that every one of those dollars needs to be repaid. Jorge Franco is the board's chairperson and says he's serving in the volunteer role of interim CEO. We are excited to announce that SDC is in a position to begin its path forward and restart services and programs that are so desperately needed in the community. The SDC was set up in 1963. It served as the city and county's community action agency. That means federal law mandated it help bring people out of poverty. Given the scandals, why not relaunch with a new organizational name to kind of have a fresh start? When living in crisis, we are very selective at who we allow into that crisis space of ours. And because there's so much legacy in regard to SDC, it is the right entity to restore and deliver services that people often won't accept otherwise because they know their mother or father or grandparent was served by SDC. Now the SDC itself needs the help. So here's the next steps. The SDC board is meeting on Thursday. and on this agenda they're going to hear about finances and restructuring right now it has hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid bills and hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid wages it estimates its net deficit this year is 3.4 million dollars, tough road ahead we'll see what happens with that organization that as you said it's been around a long time in this community Jason thanks all right let's turn to the weather now for a quick look at the storms that they're heading our way. Yeah, meteorologist Tom Wachstern is from the weather office. It's been so beautiful, but it sounds like the light switch is about to go off. Oh, it's rumbling in spots tonight. Let's take a look at the radar. Kenosha, Racine, Lake Geneva. You're hearing it, right? Nice thunderstorms for you tonight. Nothing severe, but heavy rain and a lot of lightning with this. This will be out over the lake, likely within about the next hour, but another cell here west of Lake Geneva. A couple more cells developing in the central part of the state, so this will move through until roughly midnight to 1 a.m and then we'll dry things out we'll have more on the radar and we're going to talk more about a cloudy and cooler day tomorrow coming up in a few minutes of lightning there over downtown back to you guys perfect timing thanks tom well for the Brewers to get to the World Series they must face old demons in the city of angels there were reports the Dodgers were considering sitting their biggest star However tonight Shohei Ohtani has told reporters He is close to getting his swing back and will be in the starting lineup for Game 3. It's just one of the many storylines that our team is following. Ted Perry has arrived in Los Angeles. Greetings from Southern California where they play baseball year-round. While these high schoolers get ready for their next game, the Brewers are getting ready for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. For the second time in a week, they touch down in SoCal with a 2-0 lead. This time, though, it's a best-of-seven series. Games three, four, and if necessary, game five here in Los Angeles. Games six and seven, if needed, back at American Family Field. One Dodger fan on the flight from Milwaukee to Vegas and from Vegas to here, wearing his Dodger cap, I asked him, are you at all nervous? He said, no, not at all. We'll find out on Wednesday if that confidence is warranted. Coming up at 10, a family affair. The father who made a split decision and is going to the game with his three sons tomorrow. We'll see you with that report a little later on. Tonight Chet and the Brewers find themselves in a place really few expected with a 2-0 lead against the Dodgers. But as Brandon Cruz reports, the team knows they're only halfway home. In October here in Southern California, everybody is focused on the Dodgers. And why not? They've won the World Series the last two seasons. However, they're now down two games to none in the National League Championship Series to the Brewers. But do the Brewers believe in their chances of knocking off the world champs? When you're climbing a mountain, the way I look at it, you're climbing a mountain and you're getting really close to the top. And when you are, usually that path narrows a little bit. You know what I mean? It's not as wide. When you start the mountain, it seems like this wide. And then as you get closer and closer, most mountains are like that. And I think as you get closer, you've just got to keep your footing, keep your head down, and you can't look too far ahead. When you look up for the prize, oh, where's the top? You might step in a crack or a pothole. Adversity's coming, you know, all that kind of stuff could possibly come whenever. Just keep responding, keep your head down, and keep going. The belief had to be there at some point. You know, like they didn't just wake up yesterday morning or this morning and say, you know, we could do this thing, you know. I think their belief has been there. I don't think it surprises us. The way we've gone about it just over the years, like the expectations for us are super high. So in terms of like where we're at at this point, are we surprised? I don't think so, but there's a lot more still to go. We're playing a very, very good team and you just got to take it a day at a time. Game three, Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium as the Brewers look to take a commanding three games to none lead. we'll see how it all unfolds as the Brewers look to get back to the World Series for the first time since 1982 from Los Angeles Brandon Cruz Fox Six Sports well there's dirty politics and then there's what just happened in the governor's race very dirty investigators say someone mailed feces yes feces to Tom Tiffany's campaign but the feds think they know who did it the big mistake the sender allegedly made that led them to Kewaskum. And is this a sign that Dodgers fans are losing faith? I know what that guy told Ted on the plane, but ticket prices are tumbling for game three. How much it will cost you to get inside Dodger Stadium? Do we still have time to go? You're watching Fox 6 News with Ben Handelman and Mary Stoker Smith. Well, federal investigators say feces was sent to the governor's campaign of Republican Tom Tiffany. And Fox 6 has learned the campaign received three different letters. Our Jason Calvey with how U.S. Postal inspectors were able to track down who they think are the suspects. The Tom Tiffany for Governor campaign invites donations by sending out mailings, which include pre-addressed return envelopes. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service says three of them were returned with feces. They say the person who sent the letters cut out the original receiver's name and address, but there were still codes on the letters that inspectors say revealed the address where the letters originally were sent, an address in Kewaskum. Federal court filings seeking a search warrant were just unsealed. Inspectors say the first letter was received July 20th and the second July 27th and the third August 10th. Investigators say the back of the first envelope said open, open and big moolah check. They say the second envelope had the words cabbage inside and then on the inside surprise with an expletive. The inspectors say the third envelope had a barcode that pointed to the same address in Kewaskum. The inspectors also used the U.S. Postal Inspection Service database to view images of mail to the Kewaskum home. They say they found the three envelopes with the codes originally did get delivered to that home. Jason Calvey, Fox 6 News. Jason, thank you for that. Well, the inspectors say the person the mail was intended for died in 2024, but relatives of his were living in the home at the time. U.S. Postal inspectors got warrants for a Kewaskum man and a woman, for their DNA and for their fingerprints. Since prosecutors haven't charged them, we're not naming the two, at least not yet. We did get a response from the Tiffany campaign. It reads, as you see there, not only is this behavior disgusting but it also forces innocent postal workers to handle these materials there is no place for this kind of conduct regardless of political differences all right let's turn to the weather where i'm happy that we're finally putting Tom walks to work we've had so much sunshine around here yeah what is he doing yeah we walked out on the weather deck he was in his flip-flops and had a lemonade in his hand we're like bermudas like tom he's been You're spending a lot of time in the newsroom, too. That's a sign that you need more work. Yep, I need more work to do. Exactly. At least bring cookies in there instead of just wandering in. Good idea. Cookies, candy, maybe some custard. Right? Well, you know what I say, guys. Nothing like October baseball and nothing like October thunderstorms. Let's take a look, show you the radar tonight. Boy, Kenosha County, Walworth, Racine County. Yeah, a lot of lightning for you. You don't need me to tell you that. It's noisy, isn't it? And these are decent thunderstorms moving through. Now, the white lightning bolts that you see here are cloud-to-ground lightning strikes within the last five minutes. So you can see here another storm heading right into Lake Michigan. Now, none of these are severe, but, yeah, they're still packing a punch. They're noisy, that's for sure. Heavy rain, even some small hail, not out of the question with this. Not expecting any warnings, and this will be out over the lake within the next hour. And then we have a few more storms farther to the northwest, might see a few more pop between now and about midnight. So we'll say midnight to 1 a.m. for an end time. I think this is going to be the strongest batch, though, right now that's in Racine, Kenosha and Walworth County. Hey, enjoy it while it's here because we don't have any thunderstorms in the future here, as you're going to see in a minute. Big time changes on the way. And this is actually the beginning of it. This is going to be marking much cooler air coming in for tomorrow. Let's take a look. This is cool. Looking over downtown, you can see a little layer of low cloudiness and fog settling in. I'm hoping to see if we can. Oh, there we go. Yes, perfect timing. You can see some lightning there as we are looking to the south. So you see the buildings of downtown Lake Michigan on the left-hand side of your screen. Quite a bit of lightning again, especially in Walworth and Kenosha counties right now. Even a thunderstorm from the airport, at least being heard from the airport right now. 63, our current temperature. That's after a high today of 77. The wind is out of the northeast. Dew points have come up because of the moisture and our air pressure on the rise. So temperatures in the 50s and 60s tonight, we are all going to drop into the 50s overnight. Look at the cooler air up to the north. They're already in the 40s from Duluth to Marquette, Michigan. So we've got this system coming through nowhere near as strong as our friends down to the south. Kansas City had nasty storms down there tonight. The worst of the weather is going to stay down to our south, but let's get into Sky Vision Plus and talk more about this here because we have a lot to go over in the next couple of days. First things first, these thunderstorms really should be out within about the next hour. I'd say by 1030 for our southern counties. Most of those storms are out over the lake. This is the stuff that's just developing out in central Wisconsin, so that will clear the area generally after midnight to 1 a.m. Probably shouldn't amount too much with that, maybe a rumble, otherwise just some light to moderate rain showers. Then on Wednesday, it's just going to be a cloudy day, cloudy and brisk with a north-northeast wind. I think temperatures are going to struggle to get out of the 50s tomorrow, maybe low 60s for a brief time, but it's going to be a much chillier day than we've seen over the last several days. Now I'm going to take you all the way into Thursday because it's looking very wet starting in the afternoon. So the rain starts Thursday afternoon, really picking up by Thursday evening. We could easily have over a half an inch of rain out of this system. The rain moves out later Thursday night, and I hope you're sitting down for this six-day planner. Let's take a look. The winds have changed. Here we go. 62 tomorrow, 58 on Thursday. Rain likely in the afternoon and evening. 52 with 40-plus mile-per-hour wind gusts out of the northwest. We're going to be lucky if these leaves stay on the trees after Friday 58 on Saturday with morning frost 65 and windy on Sunday so warming up later in the weekend but we go from 87 on Monday to frost on Saturday morning and of course thunderstorms for some tonight that's the latest from here back to you in the studio you're worried about the leaves i'm worried about my halloween decorations fair point yeah your skeletons are going to have to come back i think everything on my lawn is going to have to come in because it's all going to be gone i'm just worried about the temperatures dropping but Luckily, we've got the Brewers to keep us hot and warm. Pretty easy to get excited about the Brewers right now, isn't it? That's true for a former Milwaukee pitcher who is following his old club but also doing his best to set an example in retirement. Tim Van Voren, oh, very, very much not retired. He takes us beyond the game just a bit. He wasn't a Brewer for very long, but he is following his former team in the playoffs, and he is setting an example for lots of players. Tim Van Voren goes beyond the game. Scott Linebrink, longtime Major League pitcher. When October baseball rolls around and you're watching it, what do you see? October baseball has to be my favorite time of year. I just love how everything gets condensed into the final few weeks of the season. It's all hands on deck. Obviously, you're fighting for a championship. I mean, it's everything that you've been preparing for for the last eight months boils down to this. You're a longtime reliever. bullpens that have become so big in the postseason, Scott? What's the mentality of a team that knows its bullpen needs to deliver and then of a bullpen trying to hold on that responsibility? Those guys are obviously tired, but the ability to run on just sheer adrenaline and come out there, it's a different game, I'll say, too, than when I played because I feel like there's more of a reliance on the bullpen. And to have that bullpen that you know can give you, you know, sometimes 15 outs in a game, that's asking a lot. And then to do it day in, day out. And luckily with the playoff format, you know, you have an opportunity to play for a couple of days and get a day off so you can hopefully get a little rest. You've done so much since your playing days as well. And I'm wondering maybe how you process where you are now in life with some of the opportunities that baseball afforded you. I went to work for an organization that did global work around the world, putting in water projects in small communities. So I've got to travel the world and really expand my worldview, you know, raising kids and, you know, understanding what it means to be a dad and a leader of a family. And now I'm working with an organization that works directly with pro athletes. A lot of what we talk about is identity and sometimes the warped view of identity because so much of athletes' notion is that my identity is completely wrapped up in what I do. You know, there's so many stresses out there for a professional athlete and stresses on the marriage, stresses on the home. If we can help give them a firm foundation and faith and understand, you know, what is fame? How should we be looking at fame? How should we be looking at finances? Linebrink has written a book titled Fields of Life, Lessons from the Baseball, Olive, and Mission Field. Whether it's, you know, talking to a young kid on a little league field and telling him, hey, I was in the same place you were. I got cut from my high school team, which actually did happen. And, you know, sometimes things don't work out the way we think they will. And, you know, throughout my baseball career, I had a lot of setbacks. I had injuries. I had trades. I got released. All of these things don't have to necessarily be the end of the road. They can actually be something that takes us in a different direction. After all, a pitcher knows about curveballs. Tim Van Voorheen, Fox 6 Sports. Langring pitched for the Brewers in 2007 when his teammates included Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun. And his book, it focuses on baseball, but also planting olives, which take years to grow. With much of the progress taking place underground, it will be out in mid-November. Cool to catch up with him. All right, stay with us. We're back after a quick break. You're watching Fox 6 News with Ben Handelman and Larry Stoker-Smith. Well, the countdown is on. Game 3 of the National League Championship Series almost here. Ahead of Game 3 tomorrow, Brewers manager Pat Murphy was asked today, does he want the team to embrace being two wins away from making it to the World Series, or is that something he wants his players to ignore? When you're climbing a mountain, the way I look at it, you're climbing a mountain, and you're getting really close to the top. And when you are, usually that path narrows a little bit. You know what I mean? It's not as wide. When you start the mountain, it seems like this wide. And then as you get closer and closer, most mountains are like that. And I think as you get closer, you've just got to keep your footing, keep your head down, make sure you keep your footing, and you can't look too far ahead. When you look up for the prize, oh, where's the top? You might step in a crack or a pothole, right? You've got to just keep your head down and go forward don't, you know, adversity's coming, you know, all that kind of stuff could possibly come whenever. Just keep responding, keep your head down and keep going. The belief had to be there at some point, you know, like they didn't just wake up yesterday morning or this morning and say, you know, we could do this thing, you know. I think their belief has been there, you know. Yelich has spoke openly about it, you know, and I think the guys followed the lead. Contreras spoke openly about it this is this is what we're doing and uh but you got to keep your head down and take each step well when they're keeping their head down fans keeping their heads up on those screens because that brewers yeah that watch party it's back for the NLCS but well here's the bad news if you didn't get your ticket already oh you're out of luck game three's watch party is going to be at American Family Field tomorrow night and yeah tickets as you can imagine scooped up and sold out so for those with tickets gates are going to open at 6 p.m. the brewers plan to announce more details and watch parties for game four and if needed game five at a later date but again you got to get there fast because they're gone real fast i missed out i was like they're gone already yeah they're gone hey if you're planning to head out to los angeles for game three prices seem to be dropping like a rock just yesterday before game two nosebleed and standing room only tickets for Game 3 cost around $150 on the resale markets. Now we're seeing those same tickets for as low as $100 or even less than $100 to get into the NLCS. But if you're buying those playoff tickets, the Better Business Bureau, they do want you to pay close attention to make sure you do not get scammed. in a social media and peer-to-peer scams, scammers will use fake or hacked social media profiles to advertise tickets they don't have. And they're also going to use look-alike websites that really closely resemble official ticket sellers. In high pressure scams, fraudsters will create a false sense of urgency and pressure buyers to act quickly without verifying tickets or sellers. Like, get this faster, it expires. The Better Business Bureau says there are a few steps you can take to protect yourself from these scams first only buy tickets directly from the team or authorized resale sites like ticket master yeah always pay with a credit card too so if something does happen you could and should be covered make sure tickets are transferred directly to your official account again through a trusted platform such as ticket master or the team's official app and if you're unsure whether your tickets are legitimate you can contact the stadium's ticket office there are people who will help you out here's another look at the rest of the nlcs schedule this series shifts to los angeles as you know now from uh for games three and four for wednesday and thursday games now if that series does go past four games game five would also be played out in los angeles on friday then if needed again the game six and seven would be Sunday the 18th and Monday the 19th right back here at AmFam Field. For more on the Brewers' playoffs run, visit Fox6Now.com or Fox Local. There you're going to find post-game coverage, ticket information, and all the details on exclusive NLCS merch and gear. The Vatican has confirmed Pope Leo has been diagnosed with lung cancer. The American pontiff had surgery today to have a small nodule on his lung removed, and that's when doctors confirmed the cancer diagnosis. The Vatican says doctors removed everything that they suspected could be bad, and there is no talk of chemotherapy for now, but more biopsy results are expected tomorrow. In the meantime, a team of church officials will help run day-to-day operations. He will have the inner peace and the trust in the medical team and the Lord watching over him and a blessed mother so that he can come back and continue his great mission. And we've learned Pope Leo will be in the hospital for about a week to recover. The Vatican says he still plans to take his trip to South America next month. Milwaukee County inmates can no longer send messages from tablets, at least for right now. Effective immediately, the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office is pausing the messaging feature on tablets that were given to jail detainees. The Sheriff's Office says this will give the jail time to review and put protocols in place to prevent inmates from having any inappropriate contact with potential witnesses in criminal cases. This comes after recent reports revealed multiple inmates have reached out to victims tied to their cases. This has become a real hot-button issue for the governor's race, with Republican candidate Tom Tiffany calling out Milwaukee County Executive David Crawley for not acting quickly enough to protect victims. In fact, just last week, Crawley ordered the suspension of tablet messaging at the Community Reintegration Center, saying the protocols in place right now just aren't good enough. I think the jail is taking the appropriate approach to suspend for now, create a protocol that makes sense for our community that allows inmates to have contact with family members, but to also protect victims of crimes. So I think everyone's in agreement with this, but it's a little bit shocking that this hasn't been better taken care of before now. The sheriff's office says the tablets do not have internet access and inmates can only send and receive messages from account verified recipients. Inmates can still use the tablets for education and entertainment purposes. New at 9, bedbugs discovered in a Waukesha elementary school. The district confirmed it found bedbugs in two classrooms at Lowell Elementary. It relocated students today as crews addressed the issue. and asked parents to thoroughly inspect their children's clothing and backpacks before and after school. The district also released a statement today saying, in part, even though it is unlikely for bedbugs to reproduce and spread in schools, we will continue to work to identify pests, provide thorough inspections of the school, and have licensed pest control specialists treat classrooms if appropriate. Two teenagers prank has them facing some serious legal trouble now. We're going to show you the doorbell camera video that shows exactly why. Plus, help that used to take hours to get is now more easily accessible. The new program in Racine making it all possible and how it started with the passion of just one social worker. Hey, Tom. Hey there, Mary. Well, we've had some October thunderstorms tonight and a few more developing off to our west. I'll show you that with the radar and get ready for the winds of change. I'll have your Fox 6 forecast after the break. A new social services program at the Racine Library is providing help that in the past could have taken hours for people to get. And now they can get it quickly from a social worker. Yeah, this is really cool. Our Racine-Kenosha County reporter Ben Hanson has all the details now on exactly what this program can do and the passion of a social worker that makes it all possible. The Racine Public Library is now offering dedicated hours for social worker help. It's only a few hours into their first day of the program, and they've already had dozens of people come through. This explains housing options and housing assistance and financial benefit assistance. Ashley Cedeno is the face behind this effort. My passion is helping people. That's why I went into social work. She's been working at the library five years now, but it has never offered social services on this big of a scale. It's really great to work in such a community, resource-driven building that is here to support the community and offer these social services that, you know, sometimes are lacking in a lot of places. The social services are one-on-one, and it's walk-in any time on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. It's completely free and open to anyone. Ashley is here to connect people to the resources they need to be a one-stop shop for housing help, food pantry lists, mental health referrals, employment assistance, and even free bus passes. Being able to support people and connect them, you know, even if you're able to just change one person's life, I feel like that is making a really huge impact. The library is hoping to renovate the space even further to make it more welcoming for those who need help. And they're hoping to add even more hours to the social work help in the future. In Racine, Ben Hanson, Fox 6 News. Ben, thank you for that. The library is also hoping to use that social services space to have community partners come in and speak directly to those looking for some help. And again, this is a completely free program open to the public. You have to love a good library. I love it. The library is amazing, and that's a great, great program. All right, we've got to talk about our weather because we've been seeing some lightning out on the cameras. Some people are hearing rumbles of thunder out there. Isn't that wild? Some October thunderstorms, guys. October baseball and October thunderstorms. Let's take a look, show you what's going on with the radar. Nothing severe. In fact, the heaviest storms now just about to clear Kenosha. I know it's loud for you. A lot of cloud to ground lightning with this here and heavy rain that is moving east. So Kenosha, that'll be out over the lake 15 minutes or so. But look just to the west of Janesville. Yep. Those are two cloud to ground lightning strikes. And we have more just east of Baraboo. So we have more storms firing here. And so that means more scattered storms, including in areas that haven't seen the storms yet. That's going to be until roughly midnight to 1 a.m. Now, severe weather not expected. But you see how everything's just popping up here in central Wisconsin. So that's going to push through between now and we'll say 1 a.m. for an end time. And this is going to bring the cooler, cloudier weather our way starting tomorrow. Here is a live look over downtown. You can see the low clouds and even some fog there as well. See, I think the lightning might be a bit too far south now to see it from this vantage point. But we did we were able to see some lightning earlier from this. And boy, was it a loud one in our southern communities here just within the last hour or so. 63 degrees at the airport, wind out of the northeast, dew point 61. Air pressure has come up from last night. Now, we hit a high of 77 today. It was a warm one, and it's not going to be that warm probably for the rest of the year at this point. We may get back up into the 70s for a brief time next week, but it is looking significantly cooler starting tomorrow. Temperatures 50s and 60s on the map tonight. We will all drop into the 50s overnight. You see the cooler air up to the northwest. Now, line of thunderstorms here, kind of a broken line from here in Wisconsin, stretching all the way down past the Red River into Texas tonight. So big, long line of thunderstorms. And again, this will be moving out by about 1 o'clock in the morning. But there is more rain on the way and a steady rain at that. Let's get into Sky Vision Plus. We have a lot to go over here. Let's take you through here hour by hour and day by day. So as we go through the late night hour here, these are those scattered showers and thunderstorms that will come through until roughly one o'clock in the morning. Then we dry things out. Now, tomorrow is going to be a cloudy day. It's going to be blustery with the wind out of the northeast. Temperatures will struggle to get out of the 50s for highs, a high of 62 tomorrow afternoon for a brief time. Now, I want to take you into Thursday because that is the soaker of a system that is going to come in after lunch. So after the noontime hour on Thursday, the rain starts to fill in. And watch this here. 6 p.m., yeah, that's moderate rain overspreading the area. So it's going to get very rainy by the evening commute on Thursday. Continuing into Thursday night, it'll be done by early Friday morning. Likely over a half an inch of rain in many areas. out of this system. So this one's going to be a soaker, maybe a lightning strike or two, but I think this is mainly just going to be a chilly, soaking rain. All right, the winds have changed, right? Here we go. Let me put it all together for you with your six-day planner. 62 tomorrow, 58 with rain Thursday afternoon and Thursday night. Extremely windy on Friday. I can't emphasize that enough. Northwest winds gusting over 40 miles per hour and then frost on Saturday morning 58 saturday 65 and windy on sunday so a lot going on in the next couple of days that's the latest from here ben back over to you glad you're busy again thanks tom nearly two weeks after Tennessee failed to execute Christopher Pike newly released 911 calls are revealing the confusion between dispatchers and prison officials as Fox News senior correspondent Steve Harrigan explains it led to a delay in getting emergency help to the prison 911 recordings reveal a half hour delay in getting help to Christopher Pike after Tennessee's botched execution attempt last month with dispatchers questioning whether the emergency was real. We have a medical call for service at the Riverbend prison. The subject didn't pass away and they need an ambulance. The initial call came in at 8 40 p.m on September 30th about one hour after the attempted lethal injection began but the caller was unable to provide a code to help verify the request's legitimacy. We are trying to find out if that is an actual thing that is happening or if this is someone that is just basically prank calling or like swatting us. We have been informed that it is a false call. It was not until about 30 minutes later that prison officials confirmed it was a real request and began letting responders through the gates. She has completed the stages of the protocol and lastly we need from the attorney who's present she's still alive and breathing and needs immediate life-saving care. The central control just called us and advised that it is actually real, so we're going to have FBI in Pike survived two doses of lethal injection drugs when Tennessee tried to execute her for the 1995 murder of a classmate. She at one point required a ventilator before regaining consciousness and beginning to walk. She's returned to prison as the state investigates what happened. Pike's attorneys are asking the state to commute her sentence to life without parole. In Atlanta, Steve Harrigan, Fox News. Well, New at 9, shots fired at a Fox and CBS studio in California. Take a look at this video from the incident at the news studio in Bakersfield. Security footage from the station shows the moment a car started shooting, firing 10 shots directly into the building. Investigators say all of the shots were fired toward an office and a conference room. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. As of right now, tonight, no arrests have been made. Well, a game you may have played when you were younger now has two Delaware teens in hot water. The teens now face several misdemeanor charges after they played ding dong ditch while wearing masks and tactical vests and carrying a gel bead gun. Police say they contacted the teens after getting information that helped identify them and found the gel bead gun vest and masks in one of their homes. Well it is that time of year where people are sniffling and reaching for the tissues maybe the cough drops. But with cold and flu season upon us doctors they want to make sure people know about the latest vaccine. The big difference is they say patients will see between this one and the traditional flu shot. It's been so nice that it's hard to think about this but it is that time of year people coming down with sniffles, coughs, fevers and other flu symptoms and that's just the beginning though and it's just beginning to happen. Medical experts are talking now about this new mRNA flu vaccine. Fox News correspondent Marianne Rafferty breaks down what doctors say may put it above others especially for older people. Flu season is here and immunization clinics have their doors wide open. This year there's a new form of protection on the market as the Food and Drug Administration recently approved the mRNA flu shot, Influvia, for adults 50 years and older. According to its maker, Moderna, there was a study of 40,000 people. Results showed 27% fewer flu cases among those who got the new shot than those who got a different, more common flu vaccine. This new mRNA flu vaccine, it's the first time we've ever had that, worked really well. If I was going to be vaccinated this fall, I would want to be vaccinated with the RNA vaccine if I could get it. Many medical experts praising the vaccine and now explaining how it differs from traditional ones. For starters, it doesn't have a live or killed influenza virus or pieces of it. Instead, it uses messenger RNA designed to make influenza surface proteins. The virus itself is an RNA virus. The same mechanism is being used by an mRNA vaccine that would be used by the virus and that allows the cells that are involved in your immune response to directly recognize the same molecule. So it usually shows better efficacy for that type of virus. Health experts also add this new mRNA flu vaccine allows for faster production, which means the response to changing flu strains shouldn't take as long. Many doctors say vaccinations are the best way to protect against the flu. This is the CDC says people 65 and older are at a higher risk of developing serious complications from the respiratory illness. I'm Marianne Rafferty, Fox News.
