FOX6 WakeUp News at 8 | Oct. 14, 2026

Morning News Show. Well, good morning, everybody. Welcome back to Wake Up on this Wednesday. A really lovely week that we've seen so far this week, but now we're going into more seasonal temperatures. Yes. Yeah, seasonal temperatures. Good weekend, I think, to get to do some leaf peeping out there. This is a bit of a drive, but look at this. The fall foliage. Gorgeous is that with the little outlook deck there and everything. This is in South Sterling, Pennsylvania, but there are lots of great places you could go a little closer to home. We have a very nice sunrise this morning, although the cloud is obscuring a lot of it now, we're mostly mid to upper 50s at the moment. Should top out in the low 60s, which is really a typical mid-October day. We've just been so spoiled that we'll feel kind of cool. Cloudy but dry today. The rain kicks in on Thursday, lasting into Friday. And it could pick up an inch or so. We'll look at that coming up in just a bit. Today happens to be National I Love You Day. Tell somebody you love them today. Highs in the low 60s. Rob, we love you. And we've loved the weather this week, so keep it coming. We'll love you even more. Okay, taking a live look this morning at your roads. The good news is that we're not seeing any crashes. The bad news is we are seeing some congestion because of construction. 94 is certainly your slow spot right now. It'll take you 25 minutes to go from Moorland to downtown. Everywhere else, as you can see, is pretty steady. We are continuing to stay on top of breaking news this morning. Six people have died in a plane crash in Sauk County near the Wisconsin Dells. This was the scene overnight in the town of Delona. The sheriff's office says the crash happened around 9:30 last night. No word yet on what caused that plane to go down. We do not know the names of the people killed, but we do know it was five adults and one child. It was everyone on board. There are no survivors. The FAA and NTSB, they will be investigating. And as we learn more information, we, of course, will update all of you here on Wake Up. We heard from the Sauk County Sheriff earlier this morning. Let's take a listen at kind of their initial findings. So about 9:30 last night, we started getting calls of a plane crash in this area here in the township of Delona. And deputies and fire EMS all responded. we found the plane crash or the site where it crashed and then started searching for individuals now are you able to tell us what type of aircraft it was or what size it was at this time we know it was a six passenger Piper airplane and you know we know that there were multiple deaths on the plane are we able to confirm that exact number at this time we know that there were six deaths success and then there are some houses in the area as well along the street where any of those houses impacted as that plane came down not that we know of no uh this is an ongoing investigation area obviously blocked off right now by troopers do you have any anticipation how long crews will be out here you know today even into tomorrow we're waiting today or this morning um NTSB and FAA will show up and do their investigation as well and that should be sometime this morning that they arrive okay so that was Sauk County Sheriff Chip Maister who you just heard from there. So we know that the FAA, the NTSB, they're all going to be on the ground today investigating this. Again, you're taking a live look here at the area where that plane went down in Sauk County. This is just right outside of the Wisconsin Dells. So one of the things that we're working to learn for you is where this plane departed from and where it was going. So while we do not have any official confirmation on this yet, we do know that using flight tracking software we were able to find a plane that disappeared in the Reedsburg area that's where this is around the time the Sauk County Sheriff's office reported the crash to us so based off of the map that we looked at it appears the plane may have been flying out of Kenosha again officials have not confirmed where the plane departed from we do have a crew on the way to the scene right now so of course we'll keep you posted as we continue to learn more about what happened here in Sauk County. Just a really heartbreaking story here. Six people, again, dead. Five adults, one child. 8.04 a.m. now, and today, big day. Yes. Game three of the NLCS, and the Brewers are in LA with a 2-0 lead in the series. Well, these are different circumstances compared to last year's postseason showdown. Some people are still a little bit surprised by all this. Yeah, our Lily Zhao is live with more on why that may be. Lily. Hi, good morning, ladies. Yeah, I think it's kind of the narrative that has been talked about all season. The Brewers, the little Brewers, they're underdogs. They really embrace that underdog mentality. But they went into the postseason believing they are one of the Goliaths in the MLB. And they've proved it with a regular season best 103 wins. But even so, they went into the playoffs with a 2-0 lead. And you're hearing all the national noise of people saying, how did they get here? How did they win two games? Well, they've been doing it the Brewers' way. So while it's surprising to potentially a lot of people nationally outside of Wisconsin, of course, the players, they're not surprised. I don't think it surprises us. We've, 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. but I think the belief in our abilities and what we can do if we keep playing the way we play, the sky's the limit for us. That's the mentality of a Pat Murphy-led Brewers team, one game at a time, and we'll go from here. They're not going to think too far ahead because, again, they have a couple chances here in L.A. to punch their ticket to the World Series for the first time since 1982. These Brewers are not taking it lightly whatsoever, but they have to take it one game at a time, especially against a Dodgers team that is going to be extremely hard to beat at home. But ladies, you have to believe they believe they can get this far. And we'll see if they can at least get a little bit closer tonight in game three. Yeah, Lily, one of the things that I really loved leading up to this series here, which is hearing from the Brewers, it seemed like the mentality was, oh, gosh, you don't want to play the Dodgers like big, scary Dodgers. And they said, no, they understand that the road to the World Series goes right through L.A. And they want to play this team and they want to beat them because they are the team to beat. Have you heard anything about that from the guys? Yeah, absolutely. You bring up a great point because Pat Murphy even said, listen, if we want to write the story of a Brewers team winning a World Series, it has to go through Los Angeles. They're back-to-back World Series champs. They're one of the best teams in baseball for a reason. They're the team that everyone wants to take down every single postseason. So if we want to make it to the World Series, we want to be the best. So we have to beat the best. And the Brewers have a chance to really prove that in L.A. and make a really big statement on the road. So they have the mentality that, yes, we want to be the best. We're going to have to beat the best. And I think that's what really makes them so special this year is they think they can do that. Absolutely. We think they can do that as well. Lily, can't wait for tonight. We'll check back in with Lily shortly. But, of course, we'll have plenty of live reports from Los Angeles between Lily, Brandon Cruz, and Ted Perry throughout the day here on Fox 6 and Fox Local. Okay, so here's a look now at the schedule of games in L.A. this week. Game three tonight, first pitch is at 7 p.m. our time. Game four will be tomorrow starting at 8 p.m. If the Dodgers win either of those games, there will be a game five in L.A. That one will be on Friday. It would start at 8 p.m. A fun fact, no matter what happens, the Brewers are guaranteed at least one more home game either in the NLCS or in the World Series. So something to look forward to there. okay turning now to a big story that we've been following all morning long an update on a shooting that we told you about on tuesday and milwaukee police are now searching for the person who might be responsible here so an arrest warrant has been issued for 39 year old timothy taylor he's charged with five different counts in the death of 20 year old amaya walls last week at 42nd and good hope if you have any information on where taylor is you are asked to call police new allegations of Milwaukee police using excessive force. A video spreading on social media this morning shows officers forcefully grabbing a 24-year-old who was already in handcuffs. They then push him to the ground and repeatedly punch him. The man's attorney, who we were just seeing, says it started with a traffic stop last week over a missing license plate. 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. The attorney plans to hold a news conference later this afternoon. MPD says the incident is under review. The police union said in a statement officers knew the man had a gun in his pocket and that they used controlled strikes to gain compliance, which is part of training at the police academy. Well, heads up if you live in Racine, the public library is now offering dedicated hours for access to social worker help. What began as a job for Ashley Custodino turned into a larger scale operation to help people who might be in a tough spot. 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. 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 social services are one-on-one, and it's by a walk-in basis, anytime on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 to 5 p.m. What a wonderful resource if you live in Racine. Okay, coming up, a game that combines the elements of tennis and squash. Our Brian Cramp is on the court at Epic Paddle Milwaukee, working with the pros and maybe learning a few shots. Look at him go. Six WakeUp News, Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Good morning, good morning, taking a live look here over downtown Milwaukee a little bit cloudy to start your day more seasonable as well in the temperature department last morning at this time or yesterday morning at this time we were in the 70s, we're in the 50s so um certainly a noticeable cool down here Rob. Uh yeah, it has been a bit of a change of gears, you're gonna notice it as you head out, it really is just a typical mid-October day though I say if you like fall, this is a welcome change, I'm okay with it. Now pumpkin spice latte makes sense, you're not sweating thank you for justifying my PSL. Yes, yesterday and Monday it was like iced tea please. Now today, yeah we can get back into the fall mode. Look at the beautiful colors out at Newburg as you can see as we check out the play yard, they're still waiting to harvest the corn out at North Lake and yeah, a little color in the tree down in Kenosha, Carthage College unfortunately not a lot of color up in the skies. It's been pretty gray and will stay cloudy but dry throughout the day. High pressure to our west will generally keep us stable enough to avoid precipitation but not enough to clear up those clouds. We're kind of in the mid ground here. The colder airs north and west. The warmer air's south and east. So a very seasonal day today. Now the high retreats to the north. The low pushes in from the south. That brings some rain in for Thursday and it does look to be a bit of a wet day Thursday into Friday morning. So let's go check it out on Sky Vision Plus. Now, you'll notice the cloudy conditions and the northeast breeze stays pretty steady throughout the day today and into the night tonight. And we're still dry even into our Thursday morning. So the morning commute should be fine on Thursday. But by around the lunch hour or so, we get some spotty showers going. steadier rain by 3, 4 o'clock. Thursday's drive home will be in some steadier rain possibly some heavier pockets in there as well and that lingers on into our Friday morning maybe even midday Friday before we kind of get to the last of these showers now that adds up of course I likely will see about a half an inch to maybe an inch worth of rain if we get some embedded thunderstorms some of those numbers could easily get a bit of a boost now from the statewide point of view again cloudy but dry today here comes the rain for Thursday and then as this exits watch the wind here kick in from the northwest gets pretty strong for a while on Friday and then it suddenly calms down and we clear out and so that sets the stage for a pretty chilly night Friday into Saturday morning after that sunshine both Saturday and Sunday very much an October weekend not going to get the same summer-like warmth but if you want to get out to the pumpkin patch and actually have it feel like you should be at the pumpkin patch, I think it's a pretty good weekend for that. Now, today's high of 62 is spot on the average, low 50, a little bit above average, technically an above average day overall. The colder air doesn't really kick in until Friday night into Saturday morning, but when it does, we could get our first freeze of the season, which is a little early, but not crazy. The 22nd is the average first freeze date for Milwaukee. The average hard freeze defined as 28 or colder usually holds off until November our Fox 6 day planner should be near 62 today 60 tomorrow 50s Lakeside we drop to 54 on a windy Friday and then all the way down to 32 Friday night sunshine both Saturday and Sunday and warming to 66 on Monday Our homes hold the story of our lives and renewal by Anderson Windows, they're built to be there with you through every chapter, they treasure the small moments. The ups and downs life gives us. They're there through it all. Start your next chapter with Windows That Last. Wake Up News, Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Well good morning everybody. Welcome back to Wake Up. Taking a live look out there for you this morning. My goodness what a difference a day makes. This morning we were waking up at 58 degrees. Yesterday at this time you might recall we were in the 70s. My neighbors were grilling out yesterday. It was giving me all the summer vibes I think that and the fact that the Brewers are still playing baseball certainly making this not feel quite like fall although today certainly will more than yesterday so paddle in case you never heard of it combines the elements of tennis and squash with a few unique twists that make it a really different game as a whole, our Brian Cramp is on the court this morning at Epic Paddle Milwaukee working with the pros and also learning a few shots of his own so Haley and I've been talking this morning, Cramp and we're trying to figure out okay like how is is different than pickleball and tennis because it kind of looks like a similar setup 100%, yeah I mean it's like the same those sports just smashed together right and I think how it's different really there's two things that this is like a a smaller tennis court with completely different paddles than uh tennis as well as pickleball and squash I mean Lalo I mean those are the things that kind of stand out to me as I saw you guys playing, it's intense though I'd say a lot faster than those sports yes yeah I'm sweating once you enter a favorite paddle you cannot go out yeah right I love it too you know why don't we get to the service because it's scored similar to tennis if not the same is that correct it's the same as tennis yeah okay and as you take service too over there yeah we got it's usually played with two two players on each side yeah it's always a doubles game got it there's no doubles there's no singles and what i've noticed is that it's fun and competitive at the same time yeah which makes it wonderful okay all right let's go for it all right All right, let's get ready. Like you said, let's go for it. Here we go. All right. All right, so then now it would be 15, 15, zero. All right, so you're serving from my side. So I would want to what? Yes, you can go to the net cause the main goal during the point is get to the net. So you stay up. All right, we're gonna get ready for this one. This is fun. This is fun. Let's get it. Oh, he goes to the other pro, Edu. Oh, this is where it gets a little dicey. Yes. Oh, that, see, playing off the wall is uniquely different than this sport too. Because you don't play off the wall pickleball or or even in tennis yeah because usually the the ball that you are going to play is a ball that is going against you yeah now this ball is going forward the direction you want to aim okay so it's totally different yeah well it's 15 15 right now and typically how many sets do you play uh six exactly the same as tennis six yeah okay let's give you a long you can play for a long time couldn't you yeah yeah are you ready let's go for it all right here we go that's a a tough place to hit it that was a good shot there lauren i mean because that corner shot has got to be difficult to get out of you see what is happening is if she aims to the corner is the most difficult thing for me yeah because you got to hit it now can you hit it off the back wall to then go back yeah i can do that okay interesting there's a lot to this game you don't need to keep on learning more than anything else yes i don't know if he was ready for that oh we got him how do how do people sign up to play this should we just come on by should we give you a call should we look for you online they can reach us out in many ways they can go through our website they can come just directly here even we have a whatsapp community so if people want to join they are more than welcome yeah and from there we sent all the leagues and all the programs that we are running it's awesome let's keep on playing we got more time here let's go, Milwaukee just opened up last month there's only two locations in the country one's here in Milwaukee, the third is going to be down in Virginia, but i'll tell you what guys, tons of fun here and when you get competing uh you'll notice that you'll get a little bit of of a sweat going on as well so that's not a bad thing, it looks like a workout doesn't it? It does look like i feel like we're watching Wimbledon or something, we're like going between the two sides we're so invested here, two in the country and Milwaukee has one, that's pretty cool, good for us i know we do have a lot of tennis players here, yes so that's a good thing and this is year-round it's an indoor facility, there you go, love to see it, we love to see it, good winter activity yes and speaking of the weather, let's take a live look outside here from our city center camera A bit of a cloudy day today, and we do expect some rain in your forecast tomorrow. Otherwise, as I said before, maybe just grab an extra layer if you're heading out the door. Fall has returned, sitting at 58 degrees here at 8:26 We'll be back with more Wake Up right after this Fox 6 Wake Up News, Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show Well, good morning, and welcome back to Wake Up here at about 830 on your Wednesday morning. And, Rob, today it's cloudy, but we're expecting the rain really tomorrow. You are right. I am happy that you've been listening. I actively listened to Rob this morning, I'm proud to It is. Yeah, it's back to October, right? I mean, we had a couple of days that felt more like summer, and now we're back to feeling like fall. As we take a live look at our day today, it is cloudy, but it is dry A little sunshine getting through Mostly upper 50s and low 60s, and that's kind of where we spend the whole day. But that's an average high for this time of day, so it's nothing out of the ordinary. A few showers to our south, but we should stay dry today as we talked about off the top Thursday and the first half of Friday will be the wet stretch there. Could pick up an inch worth of rain in some areas, and we'll likely continue to have dry conditions for the day today. So that means an easygoing day for the kiddos in school. Wake-up school day forecast gets a B. Okay, let's see what grade we'll give traffic this morning at 8:30. Taking a live look right now at your roads. As you can see, things are mostly quiet. Here's 94 at Wisconsin, 67, not too shabby at all. Same can be said for 43 at Wisconsin Avenue. 94 usually starts to ease up at this time, so let's get a look here and see if that is the case as the kind of morning rush dies down a little bit. All right, right now let's take a look at your drive times for 94. Not too bad, 20 minutes to go from Orland to downtown. Wherever you are headed this morning, please drive safe. We continue to stay on top of breaking news this morning. Six people have died in a plane crash in Sauk County near the Wisconsin Dells. We have now confirmed it was a plane that took off from Kenosha on a return flight back to Menominee. This was the scene overnight in the town of Delona. The sheriff's office says the crash happened around 9:30 last night. Now, no word yet on what caused the plane to go down. The sheriff's office says before the crash, the plane was reported to be in contact with a nearby air traffic control tower. At this time, the sheriff's office does not know what those transmissions were or if thunderstorms may have played any role in the crash. We do not know the names of the people killed, but we do know it was five adults and one child. It was everyone on board. There are no survivors in this crash. The FAA and NTSB will be investigating, and we will update you as we continue to learn more on this developing situation. Earlier today, we did hear from Sauk County Sheriff Chip Meister. Let's listen to what he had to say. Any timeline regarding when information on the passengers who are deceased will be released? We just want to make sure that all the family members are notified before we put anything out. So I'm assuming sometime later today, perhaps. but we'll make sure that notification is made prior now obviously this is an ongoing investigation are you able to tell us anything at this time about the cause of the crash we know that they had contact with a tower prior to the crash and and investigators are looking into that today to find out what that communication was yeah are you able to tell us was it a privately owned plane do you know anything about you know why it was in the air at the time I'm not sure who owned the plane. I know it was not a commercial airplane. Okay, so let's take another live look here at the scene. This again is in Sauk County in a densely wooded area, but it's also been deemed as being residential where the plane went down. This is just outside of the Wisconsin Dells, close to Reedsburg. This morning, we are learning that it was a fixed wing Piper that went down at around 9.50 p.m. We know the plane did take off from Kenosha, but it was on a return trip to Menominee. So that's where it was headed. We are still working to learn more about these six individuals who were killed. Again, that's five adults, one child. We're working to figure out where they came from, although we can confirm that they were on a return trip back to Menominee. We've got a crew that is a reporter that's on the way, and we'll have hopefully a live report from them coming up here in our next hour or so. And of course as this investigation gets underway we also want to bring in Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell. Rob what did weather conditions look like at the time of the crash last night? Yeah it's a very interesting time frame because that was when we did have some thunderstorms in the area. Now I want to stress of course that we can't directly connect the conditions to the crash at this point. That's the job for the NTSB. But I can show you what was happening at the time. If we take our time lapse radar here that I have set up from the just before the crash time right through the crash time, you can see it took off in Kenosha and there were some thunderstorms in that area. And then as you look up towards Sauk County there, that same loop shows that storm that kind of popped up very close to the time of the reported crash. In fact, if I kind of freeze frame it here, take it step by step, you can see that storm cell in western portions of Sauk County making its way toward that exact area, intensifying pretty quickly there, and then all of a sudden lightning tracker fires up as it moves its way through places like Baraboo and Lake Delton, and it stays stronger as it continues east. So if you watch that kind of 30-minute time frame there right around the crash, there's 930, there's that cell that suddenly intensifying and then moving to the east. So again, we cannot directly at this point connect that to the crash necessarily, but it does show that conditions were not ideal for flying right at the moment that the crash was reported. And as we know, Rob, those smaller planes typically have a more challenging time navigating inclement weather conditions, primarily because they don't have the same instrument setups that larger commercial planes do. Can you comment on on anything like that. I know that you are not an air or a pilot yourself, but I know you know you have some familiarity with the weather instruments that some planes carry. Yeah, well, of course, every day, you know, we take a look at the aviation forecast as well. Smaller planes typically have to operate, you know, visual flight rules and things like that or modified visual flight rules. So it does give them somewhat of a disadvantage. But, you know, pilots are very, very skilled at that and very skilled at the world of meteorology as well. And so they're capable of plotting routes around these things and dealing with changing conditions. I think it is notable that that storm cell did intensify very rapidly right around the time of the crash. That quick change in the intensity may have been, again, something that could be attributed to this crash. We will have to wait and see what the NTSB has to say about it because, you know, while that was in the area, Pilots are very good at what they do, and those planes are capable of making last-minute turns and navigating around, things like that as well. And again, the NTSB, the FAA, they will be the two agencies leading this investigation. I want to reiterate, as Rob mentioned, at this time we don't know that weather was a factor in the crash, but we did want to just give a look at the forecast at the time of this event last night. Thanks so much, Rob. Thanks. 837 now, and today is a big day. game three of the NLCS and the Brewers are on the road facing the Dodgers in the City of Angels currently holding the series lead two to nothing. Yeah our Lily Zhao is live in Los Angeles and now Lily we heard the Dodgers are planning to keep Shohei Ohtani in the lineup what can you tell us about that? Yeah good morning ladies and I'm also happy to report the sun is starting to kind of peak up here and we're hoping the Brewers hopes to a World Series continue to peak as well but again they're gonna have to keep Shohei Ohtani at bay he will be in the lineup he's been dealing with a right knee and a biceps injury so that's kind of hampered him in the postseason but when you look at his body of work entirely in the playoffs 20 at bats just three hits none for extra bases his batting average down to .150 so it's not really the Shohei Ohtani that we know in the in the playoffs or at all he has not really played like himself because of injury but he's not using that as an excuse the Brewers though know he is still a very dangerous hitter he's experienced he knows what he's doing and they know that one swing of the bat could really change things so they're again not taking him lightly whatsoever know that whether he's uh he's feeling good or he's not feeling good he's always going to be someone that you have to game plan for you never know um it takes one swing to come back and i think there's proof of that even last year you know what I mean like didn't have probably the greatest series to start but that game four last year was you know I think it just takes one day so I mean I I don't know but yeah. Robert Gasser aka Bobby Diesel getting the start for the Brewers in game three he's going to have a really big task in trying to keep Otani down as well when he does not swing the bat well it's kind of been tough sledding for this offense in general so we're going to see hopefully if he can continue that trend for the Milwaukee Brewers as they again have a 2-0 lead over the Dodgers, ladies. Yeah, Lily, I wanted to ask you, talking about starting lineups here, I feel like it's been a kind of a treat for Brewers fans to see players who are maybe not on the traditional starting lineup this season really have a chance to shine. Can you talk about some of the big standouts that we've seen? Yeah, when you're talking about guys like David Hamilton, for example, right, he was hitless, but again, the ability to kind of get on base, wreak havoc, steal a base, kind of keep your head on a swivel that's what he did in game two so you have unsung heroes like that who are contributing up and down the lineup and then again these guys right now when you're making a postseason roster they have been through the ringer before they know what's going on but you're talking about also rookies like Cooper Pratt, Luis Lara, guys who have not experienced the stage yet, they're also having big contributions as well and so that is I think what makes this team so special is that no matter who Pat Murphy plugs in there on the lineup of course it's going to be strategic based off the pitcher they will all find a way to contribute in any way they can this team plays as a team which is why they have been so lethal this year, Lily I think we heard from a fan yesterday who said you can buy good players but you can't buy heart, that's definitely what the Brewers have on their side here, Lily thanks so much for joining us once again from LA, enjoy that sunrise looking gorgeous behind you and hey don't forget to watch for more live reports from Los Angeles from Lily, Brandon Cruz, and Ted Perry throughout the day here on Fox 6 and Fox Local. Well, Chicago native Pope Leo XIV is recovering from surgery this morning. Doctors removed a lung nodule and in the process confirmed he has lung cancer. Donovan Long is following the Pope's medical journey from our live center this morning. All right, Don, what is the latest on how he's doing? Well, first, you guys, good morning to you. Yeah, you know, people all over the world are praying for the pontiff at this time of the morning we know he had thoracic surgery yesterday at Gemelli University which is in Rome, Gemelli University Hospital excuse me which is in Rome and that surgery according to doctors lasted about 90 minutes first guys want to give you the latest update from the Vatican they did post this health update about the 71 year old Pontiff on X the quote says here the night passed calmly for the Pope further information will be provided later today. Meanwhile, we do know that surgeons removed the lower lobe of the pope's right lung. They did confirm through some lung tissue that he does have cancer. Good news here, though, folks. Doctors said the procedure was successful. No complications. That's wonderful to hear. Oncologists also say the pope's prognosis is excellent because those surgeons were able to remove the cancerous nodule at an early stage. Okay, so the cancer diagnosis still may be kind of surprising to the Pope. Here's why. Fox News says he has no previously known health problems and that he maintains an active lifestyle. We're talking swimming and tennis as well. We should note that the Pope continues to recover at this morning, 8:41 our time from a private room. We're told he's on the 10th floor of the Gemelli University Hospital. Interestingly, though, guys, normally he would be staying at the Papal apartment, but he cannot do so right now because that apartment is under renovations, Haley. Absolutely, Donovan. Again, we know a lot of people are invested in this story, wishing him a smooth and quick recovery. And if we get any new updates from the Vatican, we'll pass them along right here. It's shocking, too, because he's not a smoker. I know. And we're seeing more cases like that pop up. Yeah. All right, Donovan, thank you. Sure. Okay, it is time now to get you set up for Fox 6. Wake up at 9 o'clock. A Wisconsin woman making a name for herself, competing on Fox's The Floor. We're going to introduce you to Denise Konke and learn more about her strategy for this game. And an epic tale is coming to Netflix. We've got a first look at Narnia, the magician's nephew. And Jesse Eisenberg turned down the chance to portray Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The reason, he says, he didn't want to star in the social reckoning, the sequel of the social network. Okay, but of course, before all of that, our Brian Cramp is finding out how beginners, families, and experienced players can get involved at Epic Paddle Milwaukee. I don't know if this is an official trick of the game, but Cramp is crushing it this morning. Can't wait to see what else he has up his sleeve. All right, good morning, good morning, everybody. Taking a live look here over our kind of a gloomy shot of the Lake Michigan shoreline. I feel like today's a good comfort food day, which is fitting because it is National Dessert Day. Is it really? There we go. It sure is. I have a pumpkin bar at home that Stephanie Barakello made that I still need to eat. So I must have known that National Dessert Day was coming up. You were saving it for today. That's why I saved it. Her pumpkin bars are so good. All the apple bread that I brought in is probably all gone. That was delicious. You brought an apple bread? Your daughter made it? No, my significant other, Leah. She's the best, Leah. She's a good baker, yeah. And it's from my backyard apple tree. Really? It was delicious when I ate it, but I appreciate it even more now. That's like from farm to table. Yes. From yard to table. Right. I had some apple crisp from it yesterday. So all those comfort foods great for today because it is kind of one of those, you know, grayer, more October type days. And then tomorrow is going to be a little wet and windy. But right now, as we check out our Fox 6 camera here, you can see those gray skies were cloudy as we check in with Kenosha this hour. And they did get some rain in Kenosha last night. See some of those puddles from earlier slowly but surely drying up. And you see some pretty good color from the early morning sunrise. Now, we should say cloudy, but generally dry. High pressure way up to our west, enough of a stabilizing factor to keep us from getting any precipitation going. Not enough to clear up these clouds. Certainly helps to give us that northeast wind throughout the day today as well for that cooling effect lakeside. Speaking of temperatures, we're kind of in the middle ground here. The cold is to the north and west. The warmer is to the south and east. And we're just kind of hanging out in the middle there, just in that Goldilocks zone, if you will, with very seasonal weather. Now the high retreats, a low moves in, and tomorrow does look to be a little challenging. It's going to be windy and wet, so let's go check it out on Sky Vision Plus. Show you tomorrow's weather today. Short-term, bit of a breeze northeast throughout the day. Cloudy, but again, I don't expect any precipitation. We'll stay dry through the night tonight into our Thursday morning. But by midday Thursday, some showers start to fill in, and then a steadier rain by Thursday afternoon. Maybe 3:30. Some periods will be a little bit heavier. Unfortunately, right now it looks to pick up right around that evening commute, so that might be a bit of a headache Thursday. We stay fairly wet through Thursday, and then we go and add the wind to it. Northwest wind kicks in 15 to 25, gusting up around 35 or 40 miles per hour on Friday. I think we'll pick up a half an inch to an inch worth of rain through Thursday into Friday morning, maybe a bit more through the midday Friday with some of that lingering precipitation. Now, if we look at it from our statewide point of view, again, you can see that system moving in. And then as it exits, watch the wind shift and pick up on Friday. Still a little bit of precip to wrap in behind the low. But the key for Friday afternoon and Friday night is the clearing and cooling that kicks in as that area of low pressure exits. That'll leave us with a bit of a frosty morning on Saturday morning. After that, though, the weekend's actually quite sunny. both Saturday, Sunday look to be pleasant, very October type days. But hey, it is the middle of October. This is how it's supposed to feel. Today's high of 62 is spot on the average. 50 is actually warmer than the average low, nowhere near the records for the day. The chill that is going to be notable kicks in Friday night. As you can see, that colder air settling in and that'll be the case into Saturday morning. At that point, we might start seeing some freezing conditions across our area, and through much of the state. Our Fox 6-Day Planner, 62 today, 60 tomorrow, both days in the 50s lakeside. 54 on a windy, wet Friday, cooling all the way down to 32 Friday night, Saturday morning. Sunshine both days on the weekend, partly sunny and 66 by Monday. Well, you do not have to be a pro athlete to get in on the fun at Epic Paddle Milwaukee. Brian Kramp is finding out how beginners, families, and even experienced players can get involved at their new gorgeous facility. You're doing great this morning, Brian. You know what? I'm giving it a whirl, Haley. We're doing our best over here, and partly because of the team. The team makes it really fun. Those guys are the pros over there. I've got to say, just even sitting for like five minutes with them makes you want to play the sport. Oh, my gosh, yes. But also learn the sport even more. So how can I become a member, Lauren? Yeah, so basically I'm the one that's in charge of all the memberships. We have different tiers of memberships. For adults like you, there's two different tiers. You have the founding and the courtside. Okay. founding is the highest tier that we offer it's gonna start at $149 for the first three months okay and the last nine months the yearly contract is 279 but we are gonna offer a one month month month for new members like you okay so maybe you're new to the paddle community For sure yes of course because a month a month kind of allows me to get in here and when I can get in there but also see if I really like it in it for the kids it's under 100 it is 17 and under $79 month-to-month that's sweet the first couple kids get a free paddle actually we're trying to build up the youth here and just get them into a new sport if they like tennis do they like pickleball i think this might even be a little bit more fun um so let's get going here i don't know if we're i'm not qualified to play two pros but you might hey i don't think i am either we're gonna do our best let's do it for you lauren what makes this game so much fun because it really is fun it is it's just basically just the community and the people here at this gym already oh good shot um are just awesome our pros our whole staff is just such so welcoming and it's just great to get in here get a good workout but also low impact especially with me i have bad knees so this is this is great for my knees a 24 year old with bad knees if you can pull it off so can i who's basically a lot older than you with bad everything yeah uh oh that's a tough shot oh my gosh that is a difficult shot like how do you approach that instead of going maybe to go to lefty. So if we're scoring again, we did this like last game, we're down. So it's love 15. It is love 15. Okay. So you would be serving over here and I would move up, correct? You will be up. All right. So it's love 15. See, these are the specifics of the game that I think people will be able to get used to pretty quick. It is. And it's a bounce underhand. I'll go to my side. Ooh. Yeah. And you can stay up. Oh, that's a tough shot, but he's a pro. He can get that. He is. Now, if it hits that side, he's just feeding me. He is. Come on. He wants you to smash it. Let's go. He's just toying with me. Yeah. Come on, guys. You can't toy with me like that. And then you got, oh, that's yours. Oh, he tries to hit it off the wall. I'll tell you what, Lauren, that shot off the glass is probably the shot that will surprise people most about this sport because you can use that, and when it hits it, you have to play off of it. Exactly. So that's kind of where the racquetball aspect comes into play, where it uses the ball, you can be able to hit it off, and if it goes over, it's technically still in play. I mean, dare I say this, this is an epic game here at Epic Paddle. Oh, it's epic, it's a new sport. You and I talked off camera, like, what's next for the paddle sport, for racquet sports? Yeah. You know, I mean, it's pretty cool to see how it's evolved over time. Exactly, and I think this is just a great way to get people in, especially in the tennis, pickleball, racquetball community. Try a new sport, get in here. Give it a whirl, why not? And it's great for wintertime, too, since we're indoor. You got another ball. I'm serving again. I got one in this corner. Check out this box logo for more information, guys. Epic paddle here in Milwaukee right off of Brown Deer. Love 30. You're heading out near 41. I'll say this, that if you play once, it's kind of addicting. Look at that overhand on Grant. Oh, he got a shot in on the pro. That's a rarity. I'm going to leave on that one. Paddle drop. Yeah, and on a high note. We're done now. Sorry. We scored a four. We're done. Grant was feeling confident because he was like, hey, do you have a ball to serve? Let's do it one more time here. and then he crushed it. Did a great job. Proud to know you, Brian Cramp. He's going to go get a membership after that. I appreciate it It looks like a good time, too. Yes. All right, take another live look outside here from our city center camera for your Wednesday morning. A bit chillier than the last couple of days, and certainly we've got some clouds in the sky, but it should be a dry Wednesday. Not the same story for Thursday. We'll get you another look at your forecast coming up at 9. Fox 6 Wake Up News, Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. All right, good morning, everybody. taking a live look here over downtown Milwaukee uh where it's a little bit more seasonable this morning yeah it is 58 degrees right now a lot cooler than it was yesterday at this time by like 20 degrees and if you think that this is chilly oh boy you just wait until Saturday morning well the newest addition to the Racine Zoo needs a name. Too cute, you can help pick it out as well yes the zoo welcomed a healthy baby zebra on Monday it's a girl and the zoo actually has a list of names it's asking the public to choose from so the name selection options are Truth, Penny and Dolly which is a nod to Dolly Parton who of course passed away in August you can now vote for your favorite on the Racine Zoo Facebook page she needs a good name because she's adorable it's gotta be Dolly for me I think I'm going Dolly right what a beautiful tribute you're named after an icon a legend and yeah looks like a Dolly I'm sure she would work nine to five hard at the zoo yeah I like it business hours I know really gosh it's just so neat to see how they have those stripes even right when they're born because you know how some animals are kind of a different color a little lighter when they're babies for me it's the size of baby animals that always shocks me like giraffes when they're first born are like my height which cracks me up they're so big elephants yeah yep well anyway go get your votes in and if you like nickel and i we like it
