FOX6 WakeUp News at 8 | Oct. 29, 2026

Good morning, everybody. Good morning, and what a good morning it is. We're all waking up in a good mood today for a very good reason. We are decked out in our Brewer's finest. I tried to grow a giant handlebar yellow mustache overnight, but it did not work. Interesting. I would have thought. No shave November is what, on Sunday? That's a good point. There you go. There might be a lot of Bernie Brewer mustaches out there in a few weeks. All right, let's take a look at our day today. It is beautiful this morning. Everybody's in a spectacular mood. It's 61 degrees right now in Milwaukee and Waukesha. We have 60 as we check in with Kenosha. We had some rain overnight. That has dried up. We're going to continue to clear up. Should be a great day for the kiddos at school today. Focus levels, not so great. Sorry about that, teachers, but also not sorry. We should be in the mid to upper 60s for the day today. And then looking ahead to parade day. Looks amazing. We'll get into this in more detail in just a few minutes. All right, Rob, thank you so much. Taking a very quick check now at your roads. Things are looking, you know, a little bit congested out there this morning. But the good news is that there's no crashes to report. So we'd love to see that. Everybody's having a safe drive in this morning, even though it might be a little bit slow in some areas. Let's take a look now at your drive times. 94 headed east is really your slow spot this morning. But we are seeing some delays on 43 headed north. Late into downtown will take you 12 minutes, 21 minutes to go from Moreland to downtown. Wherever you are headed this morning, please drive safe. 2-1 pitch. Palacios. Grounds one softly. Man, what a time to be a Brewers fan. The Brewers, for the first time in franchise history, are World Series champions. The crew ended the World Series in Game 5 last night with a final score of 4-1. You'll love to see it. Yes, and the party in Milwaukee, it's really just getting started. Erica Williams and Donovan Long are live outside AmFam Field, the home of your 2026 World Series champions. Good morning, guys. Yeah, it feels so good to say that. It feels good. Oh, my gosh. And I feel like now that the sun is up and we can see what's happening around us, it just makes it that much more real that this behind us, this belongs to us, this community, and it's the home of now the World Series champs. sorry we were talking about last week how we saw them unfurl that banner right there we were saying we hope in a week or so we're gonna be the champions they're gonna make another one uh that and then some right i think they have really brought this home not only for the ball club but for all of the fans here the generations who have been waiting decades for the brewers to bring this home you're so right about 57 years that the city has seen something like this yes and the first for the brewers franchise it is so meaningful you know 31 000 folks filled this ballpark behind us sold out of course for the watch party and it's just so cool to see their reactions as well as the reactions from people from other watch parties erupting in joy erupting with just adoration for the crew it's been amazing to see that even the crew to see their run their world series run so i'm sure they were locked in obviously when they were down there but i'm interested for them to kind of come home and get the love that we have been sharing amongst each other as a community uh this was was packed here at AmFam Field but watch parties all across the even down in Florida I feel like Brewers Nation has really taken over and it was also nice seeing them kind of pop bottles with their families names on it and then that's also just them knowing who stood behind them who helped them make that sacrifice I just love the people who they are too in addition to being the players they are. You're so right especially the family element you mentioned speaking of William William Contreras his brother who's also a player for the Red Sox was there surprised him on the ballparks at the ballpark in the field Tropicana Field and just to see them embrace, cry together, share that huge moment together, it just goes to show that like William didn't get here alone. He had a whole army of people behind him, you know. It's been a long journey obviously in their careers, an amazing push in this post season, but for us fans it's been a long week. You know it's been a really good week, but throughout it all we're still showing up. Yesterday people flooded into the streets, they also flooded into stores trying to get merch um everybody is just proud to show their gear especially uh one girl right here who had something to say about her fits yeah i've watched every single world series game i'd like i've worn this jersey every single day since we started playing it like oh my god you're here with your family the brewers just won the world series what was your first reaction when you were in the stadium oh my god i just like jumped up and i i didn't i honestly i was like i didn't really i was like oh my gosh this does not just happen and then i jumped up and i hugged everybody and i immediately saw i cried and she's not the only one who was so overcome with emotion i mean it's an overwhelming moment for young and old and it's just really nice to see people reflect some people were crying sam kramer our colleague was crying because the crew has been through so much to get here that's right and we were even waking up from texts from family members who don't even look for like congratulations so this is something obviously that we are celebrating today decades and even years to come well worth it too well worth the wait back to you guys in the studio, Nicklin Haley, oh well worth the wait for real, Donovan, I love your point there about Wilson and William Contreras, the brothers and how poetic they now are both World Series champions exactly 10 years apart, what a lucky family there, yes it's huge, it's so insane to think about for them. Oh yeah, we know too, it really takes a village, right? So you think about their parents you know the people who are driving them to all those practices all the games all the things, so I'm sure a big congratulations for the Contreras family. Okay so now let's go to the place that has been dubbed Milwaukee South. How does that sound? I love the sound of that. Our Ashley Sears got to celebrate the historic win with some Brewers fans in St. Petersburg last night and now the party is at the beach, is that right Ash? Yeah we're hanging out here on the beach, the Brewers fans are just waking up, uh and the celebration continues, waking up, oh well who are you? They didn't go to bed, good morning, good morning, yeah Ted, you said uh have you slept yet not really, no, I mean I tried for like an hour but no, I just couldn't, we we got back here we celebrated a little bit and then we all have flights to catch so it's it's just a beautiful morning, I just kind of wanted to soak it so I promised myself I would get in the ocean, so I walked to the ocean and put my feet in and then said that's good enough, it's cold, it's like Lake Michigan cold, I didn't think the ocean was cold but here we are, Ted, you've been a part of so many big events uh at Fox Six in Milwaukee, where does this measure up and what kind of emotions were you feeling last night when this happened, I've been trying to separate my emotions because we're here to cover it and I'm also a fan as you know i think it's going to take a couple days to think and maybe the parade tomorrow like we're here and being in the stadium last night was remarkable the fans that were still in there there were some in San Diego there were more in Los Angeles but last night it was like a full house still and that is the moment i'm going to remember but then i look at parties from the Deer District and Fiserv and Morans in South Milwaukee and i I was watching all that video. I couldn't sleep. I'm going back and looking at our Fox 6 Now page, and it's just so remarkable. It hasn't sunk in for me yet as a fan because I've been here on the job. But I think the parade tomorrow is going to be pretty emotional, actually. Yeah, it was an emotional night for so many people. We talked to some fans at Ferg's. That's the bar down here that Brewers fans have taken over. And we spoke with a woman who was in tears and said her mother had passed but was still with her at yesterday's game take a listen my dad my brother months ago okay but she was here with us i've been waiting i can't even explain it i really felt from a month ago it was going to be brewers and five um and it wasn't going to happen unless my dad and i were in the stadium together and if that happened in one of the later World Series games because that's when it was going to happen. Just such a memorable night. Fans so excited to celebrate at that parade tomorrow. Fans here are getting ready to get on the planes so that they too can be a part of that celebration. We'll send it back to you guys. Man, I bet that coffee just tastes... Go Brewers! I bet that coffee tastes even better on the beach too. I'm sure. And she's earned many, many a coffee. They're running off of like no sleep. It's so impressive. I think that should be... We're calling it team coverage. I'm going to call it team no sleep today. Yes, absolutely. good reason you know we'll never get that night back and we'll remember those memories forever for sure okay coming up on wake up we're going to be diving into some fan reactions to the big win last night we know that there were so many reactions that were pouring in as well as taking a look at some of the sweet new Brewers World Series merch that you can buy today that's right and we're taking a live look here at Mitchell International Airport we know some of these Brewers fans hopping on flights to come back to Milwaukee and eventually so will your 2026 World Series champs the players we're on plane watch today you guys oh six wake up news Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show well Wisconsin we are waking up this morning buzzing as the reality sets in the Brewers we are World Series champions and I we got to get used to saying that because it sounds so good our Andrew Muzio is joining us now live as everybody is sharing their excitement this morning Andrew I don't know about you but the first thing I did when I rolled over out of bed was went on my phone and was watching everybody's stories reading the post because it was just fun to kind of live this through other fans too and kind of get their perspective it really has been a joy and honestly from the different angles that we've spoken about whether it's watch parties or different stories that we've been able to feature shout out Samson I mean there's so many different angles that we've been able to cover on this run and so it's been so cool something else that we've The scene, of course, is the fashion, too. So I like the blue and the gold that you guys are sporting right there at the desk. I got my tie here because when you win 4-1, they call it a gentleman's sweep. So technically, they still swept them, right? A gentleman's sweep. That's what we'll say now. And I got my hat here, the division champs, which I do feel is now a thing of the past because they are more than just division champs. They are World Series champs, as you guys mentioned. So a lot of excitement we're seeing in person, whether it's in Florida, Wisconsin, coast-to-coast, but also in the world of social media, too. Starting off with some Wisconsin royalty here. Shout out J.J. Watt, who he is some, or actually, we'll get to that later. You're seeing a video right now, actually, from Father Edward Looney. He's a Catholic priest and Milwaukee Brewers fan. We've had him on our show before, praying for the Brewers and their success and their guidance as they complete this iconic run. You're seeing that right there on the plane. Let's take a listen into his footage that he recorded right on the plane as he was heading back to Wisconsin. And actually, just listening to that now, did someone just say, I hope the Packers are following them or I hope the Packers are to follow? That's very interesting. I mean, Wisconsin is only the third state in the United States to have three teams win in the MLB, NBA and NFL since 2010. Here you see that tweet from J.J. Watt, Wisconsin native, World Series champions, Milwaukee Brewers. He actually had a number of tweets throughout the night. So definitely cheering on his home state team here. Moving on to the next one, Governor Tony Evers joining in on the fun as well. So we have a whole lot of tweets as well. There you see it right there. He is jazzed up. I've never even heard him say that. That'd be really interesting to hear him say that too. And last but not least, Hall of Famer CC Sabathia, who is just a Brewers icon, just a well-deserved for Pat Murphy and the entire Brewers team. I think I would agree with CC Sabathia. A lot of social media posts we'll get into later on this morning, guys. Yeah, Andrew, I think that this became a thing probably before you came to this market. But I feel like jazzed as hell has become Governor Tony Evers' tagline as governor. I mean, jazzed? We've got to bring jazzed back. We are jazzed. Absolutely. like jazz hands yes governor evers is making it cool again reminds me of like mean girls he's making fetch happen he's doing it he's doing it all right thanks andrew we'll check back in with you shortly and of course keeping things close to home we are checking back in with donovan and derica who are out at AmFam Field i can't get enough of these reactions you guys are you guys jazzed I think we're happy as hell jazzed as hell hyped up as hell keep on going that's right I think there was all a sense we had to obviously sleep last night but when you woke up the first thing we did was look at social media look at thoughts it's like we won we did it you know um and that's just the sense that we're feeling all over from fans here uh even in St. Petersburg but it's also just nice being at AmFam Field where we know it was rocking last night now we're talking Come on, 31,000 people probably going crazy after that last out. I mean, nothing gets better than seeing your team reach the largest stage in baseball. Yes, and we're going to get to see them on a different stage come tomorrow with the parade, with the rally. So I feel like the party's just getting started, guys. It happens. Woo! We're so excited. It looks like it's going to be such a good time. Guys, we've got to do a line check here soon because I feel like if I know our diehard fans, they're already out there waiting for those tickets for tomorrow. Yeah. Oh, absolutely, for the parade, absolutely. We'll check back in with you guys in just a little bit. I thought we just need to do a check on all the fans who were out partying last night. Everybody okay? Everybody hydrated? Getting to work? A lot of those folks have waited a very, very long time. 44 years, I can vouch, is not, you know, a minute. It goes by quickly, I suppose, but it was not exactly speeding by for those Brewers fans, and it feels like a wonderful, wonderful day today. It looks like a wonderful, wonderful day today. Look at this spectacular shot from Manitowoc. Another great shot as we check in with Kenosha. Time lapse from the Kenosha cam does show a few showers that rolled through last night. Had a couple of little puddles to wake up to this morning. And we've had some sunny breaks, but generally cloudy so far. We will get a lot more sunshine, though, by this afternoon. You can see how things have really started to clear up farther north and west. The cold front is just starting to make its way through. And obviously the air behind that is colder, but it's not cold. It is late October at this point, and it's still upper 30s, low to mid 40s, even behind the front as we sit at 61 in Milwaukee. So with the sunshine that follows today, we'll still see temperatures in the mid 60s, upper 60s before sunset. And then it will be a more seasonal night tonight, and it looks really good throughout the day for the parade. So let's go take a look ahead here with Sky Vision Plus. We'll show you tomorrow's weather today. Look at that beautiful clearing. A bit of a breezy northwest wind, but we're dry throughout the afternoon. Clear and dry tonight and into tomorrow morning. Early morning prep. Things get set up for the parade. As folks get down there and find a spot along the route as we get our camera crews and all of our teams set up, it'll be pretty easy going. And by the time the parade actually steps off at 10 a.m., looks good. Sunshine, little northeast breeze, looks good right through to the rally point there at noon down at Henry Meyer Festival Park. And we stay dry throughout Friday afternoon into Friday evening. Does kind of change up Friday night into Saturday. And it's a statewide thing. We clear out and we stay beautiful throughout the day Thursday and most of the day on Friday as well here at home and up north. But by later Friday night into Saturday morning, some clouds and some showers do start to roll in. We'll have a few more showers throughout the day Saturday, which of course is Halloween. It won't be a washout. Just kind of follow the forecast, check out the app, pick a window in there somewhere where it kind of settles down for your neighborhood and the kids should be just fine to get out and do some trick-or-treating. But you will kind of have to pick your spots in between those showers. But at least it's not snow. It wasn't all that long ago that we had snow on Halloween. In 2023, we picked up over three inches worth of snow. So a few sprinkles isn't going to stop us, right? Our Fox 6 Day Planner starting off here at 68 today, 58 tomorrow, and 60 on Saturday. Should be 64 on Sunday. Don't forget to fall back. Yes, we set the clocks back an hour this weekend. Also check the batteries in all of your alarms and detectors.

Fox 6 Wake Up News, Milwaukee's most trusted morning news show. Welcome back, everybody. I think it's safe to say that a Brewers World Series win calls for a little bit of a wardrobe update with, of course, some new sweet World Series merch. Our Brian Cramp is taking a closer look at all of the new stuff that's coming in Cramp, I am just loving all the designs of everything the different logos the different styles I mean they've got something for everybody at Dick's exactly so I was going through the stuff for kids as well as women I can't believe how uniquely different the sizes are in the shape of the shirt so if you're particular about the size or your body type i mean they have everything for everybody and that's one of the perks because when you're coming to the dicks and you want some merch you want that world series brewers merchandise first uh they're gonna have you covered i'm gonna say this again like i did before in previous hits look be patient right this this team is working overtime just like everybody else and kyle from the from dicks knows that as well swing on over here kyle you know the team is phenomenal we talked about being up last night um you were working you were cheering you're back at it again what's it like i'm gonna ask this because i don't know in other states during championship runs isn't this bonkers like depend on the team the atmosphere how often they're winning like this hasn't happened in 44 years so everybody's pretty darn excited and pretty i'm pretty willing to go to get this merchandise yeah and they're getting a little bit of everything everything i i saw a woman walk out with five bags you know i'm seeing dads call their wives to make sure that the kids are getting the right size getting the right color uh we talked about that and the importance of what this team has created for the culture for the community of milwaukee but it extends outward into wisconsin and you're seeing that at stores across the state yeah all 13 of our wisconsin stores opened up immediately following the win last night they were opened back again this morning at 7 a.m it's not just milwaukee it's the entire state this period are you ever surprised of how many people show up before the doors open whether it's at night or the morning and then continue to fill the store and buy the merch it never surprises me yeah um i think if you become surprised and be taken over by it um never never be doubtful of fandom and what can happen right come to the woodland yeah and i appreciate you being here i know you're a fan of the brewers and we've been hearing chants of go brewers go morning i think when the parade happens tomorrow all these people are going to be very happy they got the merch to show that off as well thanks for joining us again kyle i'm here at dick's in brookfield guys they are officially open with that world series brewers merchandise there you go go brewers more fox six wake up coming back after the break well good morning and welcome back to wake up you guys if you're just waking up with us your Brewers, our World Series champion. We did it, man. I love hearing that. Yeah, it was quite the night last night. An amazing game. The city is electric this morning and things look great heading into the parade forecast. But one thing at a time here. Let's get your day started with a live look from the top of the Mount Aaron A little cloudy now. We'll get more sunshine later on. Right now it's 61. It's a pretty mild start to our day today. You see that beautiful clearing north and west and that's going to get us some very nice sunshine midday and into the afternoon cold front doesn't do much to the temperatures to be honest it'll knock them down a bit from yesterday but we're already in the 60s we'll be in the mid 60s most of the afternoon with tons of sunshine so a beautiful day enjoy that it should be an easygoing morning commute i'll take a very quick check at your roads here a positive update uh no crashes to report right now at 8 33 we love to see that we are still seeing some delays on 94 in both directions uh right now 94 headed east is your slow spot 18 minutes to go from Moreland to downtown this is right where those lanes get reduced from three to two around the ballpark um so yeah i know this morning we were our crews were commenting on how people were honking as they head past the American Family Field today kind of giving a little like too too we're world series champions usually they're honking because they're mad about the construction right not today today it's in celebration it's a it's a celebratory honk okay so the Brewers have finally done it you know they say the best things in life are worth waiting for and nobody knows that better than we do we're officially world series champions this morning after winning game five last night against the Rays four to one Derek Williams and Donovan Long they are live outside AmFam Field home of your 2026 world series champions good morning guys it's electric in Milwaukee yes it is electric yes it is so excited to be out here because we're starting to see people line up for the World Series merchandise for the team store that opens at 9 o'clock here. That's right. I put my hat on, but I think I may go get another one. That line, as you saw from last night, wrapped around. It was almost by like third base. So it's just been exciting. I think this is a moment that we have been waiting for for generations. And the Brewers delivered. They delivered for themselves. They delivered for the franchise and, of course, the city of Milwaukee. And it's so impactful when you think about how the magnitude of this moment I mean the crew has not seen a World Series ever title and so to be in this moment to live in this moment in relish in it is so meaningful for so many people yeah and I just want to obviously give a huge kudos kudos to those players because they put their bodies there's so much the practices the workouts and it all paid off yeah and I'm so glad you brought that up because Sal Frelick had an injured shoulder an an injured knee, and then he hurt his hand when the pitcher at the time, who was on the mound, I forget, from the Rays, threw and it hit his hand. And so that guy dealt with a lot of adversity to win with his teammates the World Series title. Yeah, they powered through it. They all showed athleticism. It was just amazing. Folks, obviously here at AmFam, 31,000 tickets were sold yesterday. Folks poured into the parking lots, into the streets as well. Everyone was just excited. As we said, this was a win for generations to come, especially for this person right here stay with us guys check out we might have one of the youngest here how old she's three months three months what's her name audrey audrey and what's your name lauren what do you feel i have an eight month old home you guys are brave uh but why bring her tonight um it's just exciting it's exciting to be here it's exciting to celebrate milwaukee and celebrate the Brewers so I want to be a part who cares if we don't sleep huh I don't uh what's the moment you guys are going to remember from this one um probably just that last outfit when the fireworks went off Betty came down it was just so fun and so special to be here and celebrate with our family oh man yeah and that's it because those are the pictures those are the memories that are going to last as we heard from people who you know witnessed the one in 57 talking about would happen then or even you know back in 82 when we thought we had a chance but this is it guys we finally made it and we're going to continue that celebration tomorrow Don it's going to so it's going to be so cool for that young toddler to like look up 27 years later and be like I went to a World Series game with mom and dad and maybe they took home some confetti just to put in the pocket just as a like a keepsake all the keepsakes so we're going to go check on some other keepsakes in just a bit Nicola and Hayley oh my gosh so sweet yeah I love to see those little baby headphones yes protecting the ears you have to figure those must really work wonders you know yeah it was loud last night at AmFam yeah you're so right all right guys thank you well this morning we are all waking up to a new reality Milwaukee is at the top of the baseball world where we belong I know this is so exciting and everybody is sharing that excitement not only in person at the watch parties all week long but also online our Andrew Amuzu has been following along for us to give us some of the uh the best out of your social media feeds today hey there Andrew hey Nicola yeah it's definitely been a memorable morning on social media just looking at all of the different tweets and uh even just all across social media Instagram Facebook you name it the energy is alive and well i do also want to mention though that this has been going on all season long we have so many great memories i mean i forgot who it was was it donovan or Derek who even mentioned Sal Frelick you can just look at this i mean when they rolled out these jerseys those were iconic and of course we have other iconic moments from when Maddie won Maddie uh faced what was that Ben's Barrel battle champion i mean we have so many different memories here that we are continuing to just remember on but of course on social media the social media game is alive and well let's start with uh the Milwaukee Fire Department because they of course are fired up no pun intended or maybe it was here with that helmet look at that the blue and gold helmet and i love the front there too of course it says Milwaukee Fire Department but you got the logo it is a big splash there speaking of Milwaukee though of course you can't think about the Brewers without Miller Lite look at those custom cans Miller Lite clinch cans those are really cool as well moving on to the sports world of Milwaukee the Milwaukee Bucks shouting out the champions of Of course, they know how much Milwaukee rallies are behind their sports teams just several years ago with Bucks in six. Now it's Brewers in five. And last but not least, I do also want to highlight the Baseball Hall of Fame because they are saving a lot of the memorabilia from this postseason run, especially the World Series. Think about Bryce Terong's Game 5 cleats, the Miz's Game 5 cap. I mean, those are just two of a handful of so many things that you'll be able to find at the Baseball Hall of Fame. And what a Hall of Fame run overall. We'll continue to give you updates on social media, what we're seeing, the excitement, all of that. Not just coast to coast, but of course, online, guys. All right. I'm sorry, really quickly. Andrew, is that my Sal Frelick jersey that you took out of my purse? It may or may not be your jersey. I just heard Sal Frelick and I'm like, oh, my gosh, yes, he was a champ, and he was just a warrior through this. So I was like, oh, jersey right there. Andrew, what else did you take? Did you take your breath mints? Yeah, just going through our bags while we're anchoring. I see. This is how we do it. Dude, you never go through a lady's purse. Rule number one. My mom, she told me about that. Y'all are friends, so it's fine. That's the last thing I thought I was going to pull out was my jersey. But we're happy. We're celebrating. I'm going to allow it today. She's like, that looks familiar for a good reason. All right, Andrew. Okay, so all the brewers we know are going to have to fly back to Milwaukee at some point today to make it in time for the parade that's early tomorrow. Their plane is expected to land sometime later on this afternoon. Well, our Stephanie Quirk is over at Mitchell International, where some excited fans have already passed through the terminal. How is the energy there, Steph? Oh, I see she's on the sky glider. Well, that's where the parade's going to be, the grounds. Perfect. Exactly, you guys. I'm just getting a little preview of the fun to come. Haley, I will note that I almost, Andrew took your jersey, I almost took your Brewers Take October t-shirt that I know you love so much this morning when I was like, what do I wear for the Brewers coverage? Well, we're on the SkyGlider right now just getting a glimpse of what this amazing parade is going to be like tomorrow, but I want to show you what's happening right now. I also, of course, brought my handy rally towel, but take a look over here. You wouldn't necessarily think, oh, let's go to the airport for gear. But look at this, guys. You guys, they have World Series champions gear already here at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport. Look at this. T-shirts. They got bears. They got cups. They have sweatshirts. You name it. Just awesome. Rolling out the red carpet for the brew crew. And they already got the banners up and everything. I'll tell you guys. I keep saying this, but it's so true. We came with the idea to talk to fans who are landing, obviously, who went to Florida to see the Brew Crew play in person and win in person. As they got off the plane, just get their reaction and things like that. But we ended up talking to fans who were literally getting on a plane at like 4.30 in the morning who were just so excited, just reeling from last night and the win and coming here, getting gear and cheering on the Brew Crew. It is a magical time to be in Milwaukee. And, hey, if you're looking for World Series championship gear, come to the airport. Back to you. Good to know there's stuff. Yeah, probably lines are a little bit slower. I am curious. They mentioned it last night. I'm curious, the fans who are flying back today, how they're feeling. Because they were out late. They were partying. Hopefully, they're just continuing the celebration. Maybe a little hair of the dog on the plane there. Yes. Oh, my goodness. A little nap. Yes. Yes. A neck pillow, a Brewer's neck pillow. I'm going to figure it out. Quirk, thank you. And even like the... Oh, thank you. We'll check back in with you later, Quirk. Hey, this brings us to our Fox 6 Instapoll. We asked, will you be attending the Brewer's World Series Championship Parade? Let's see. Drum roll, please. It's going to be... Yes. Nice. 63% of you guys making plans to go and see the championship parade in person. Now, 37% saying no. Maybe you have work plans, but that's the good news is that here at Fox 6, we're the official broadcast partner. We're going to have some exclusive access for you, so if you can't go in person, you can still tune in tomorrow. We'll bring you that parade coverage. But we also want to keep hearing from you guys, so fox6now.com slash poll to vote in that. Wonderful. All right, time now to get you all set up for Fox 6 Wake Up at 9. Yeah, this morning is going by quickly. It is. So ahead on your news at 9 o'clock. We're taking a moment to remember those that played for the first Brewers team that made it to the World Series. Everything from memorabilia to their thoughts on this year's World Series champions. Well, fans turned to the Bob Uecker Memorial following Wednesday's victory to honor the late broadcaster. Gino is talking his legacy and showing us what fans have left hours after the crew solidified themselves as world champions. And a Brookfield woman shows us her astonishing Brewer's-themed pumpkin. That's a pumpkin. You know, I see it. You've got to look closely, though. The best part is her entry into a pumpkin decorating competition that her co-workers say that she's won for 12 years straight. And, you know, Haley, I think she's got a good chance at another year, 13 years straight. We'll be right back. Welcome back, everybody. So as the parade planning begins for tomorrow, one really important topic for all of us is safety, right? So we caught up with a team over at the Milwaukee Police Department that is tasked with preventing any widespread danger, but also ensuring that everybody has a good time. We, as officers, can also get lost in the mob a little bit, right? And so to be able to have these officers and sergeants out there in these vests and be recognizable as somebody that should be grabbed, right? You know they're not a regular fan because they're not wearing the brewer's gear. They're wearing this. So that's really important. And it helps us when we get in with the crowd, when we're near to particular issues, to be able to help out as best we can. Goodness. And you know they're preparing right now for tomorrow, for that parade. It's a good reminder that we can go, we can have fun, and we can know that they're doing the nice precautions to keep us safe. And we just need to follow the rules as well. You're so right. Yeah, we've got to think about all the people, all the moving parts that go into planning a massive event like that. And, you know, we're very happy to do it. We're very happy to have the facilities to do it. We've all been kind of like running high on adrenaline, right, and like heart rate through the roof. So here I present a moment of zen, a little cleansing breath. This is gorgeous. One of our live cameras. It looks like it's some sort of, you know, fake thing that your TV puts on when you stop looking at it long enough. And the little, you know, like a screensaver. Screensavers come up. But it's not. It's a live camera at Lakeville, Pennsylvania. Spectacular image right there. Back here at home, still looking pretty good as we check out our live cam at North High School. Got some pretty colors as we go to our new bird cam as well. Still working on the clouds, but we should see those start to thin out and break up pretty quickly here once this front clears. The air in behind the front is, of course, by definition colder, but it's not cold. It's still seasonally warmer than average, and that's how we kind of hang for the next little while here. In fact, our forecast for the parade looks nearly perfect. Let's go check it out on Sky Vision Plus. So short term here, we're looking at some clouds and then we get back to sunshine, breezy northwest wind. But like I said, even though we're behind the cold front, it's still an above average day today. More of an average night tonight as that cooler air settles in and clear skies. And then again, perfect conditions for the parade. All the setup, all the stuff we were just talking about and getting the city ready for it. That's going to happen with some very calm conditions in the wee hours of the morning. And then by the time the actual parade steps off, sunny northeast breeze, comfortable temperatures. and we stay dry right through the rally at noon down at Henry Meyer Festival Park, and we're still calm and clear right through Friday night. The statewide point of view pretty much shows the exact same thing. No matter where you are in the Badgerland today and tomorrow, we get to have some great weather to celebrate our brewers. And then Friday night into Saturday, some clouds roll in and some showers too. Now, timing is everything for Saturday with the trick-or-treaters heading out. And I think if you stay tuned and stay weather aware and check out your app, you'll find a window where the kids can get around the neighborhood without getting too soaked. It's not going to be an all day rain, but there will be scattered showers even into the trick or treat hours. And then it settles down as we move into our Sunday. Speaking of Halloween, yes, we might see some rain this year, but this was just 2023. It wasn't that long ago we were dealing with snow as the trick or treaters were out there doing their thing. It was a rough one back in 2023, but we made some pretty cool memories going door to door, trudging through the snow in our snow coats. If we look ahead here, we actually don't have any chance of getting snow in the forecast because of the mild conditions not only today, but for the next several days. 68 is well above the 56 degree average, and we don't see any break in the above average air even on into the first few days, maybe the first few weeks of November. So our Fox 6-Day Planner starts off strong here at 68, drops to 58 tomorrow and 60 on Saturday for Halloween. 64 Sunday, still well into the 60s, but getting wetter by Monday and Tuesday. Well, a Brewers World Series win calls for a wardrobe update with some new merch. Our Brian Cramp joins us live in Brookfield, getting a closer look at some Brewers merch at Dick's Sporting Goods. And I imagine this is flying off the tables. Oh, they are, too. It's been nonstop since they opened up at 7 o'clock. In fact, Haley, it was last night at 10:15 that they actually had the stores open. So that's pretty impressive. As you can see, we got some footage of the shoppers. The idea is to find the one that you like. But there are so many people that are coming through the doors. Look at this. This is from last night at their Greendale location. Brewers won the World Series, and they immediately had to get their merchandise. And people were running in just nonstop after each other. and that's the type of support that the fans have given this team the entire season and it's not only at the stores there but it's all across the state of Wisconsin we have four stores locally one down in Kenosha those are all really accessible to our area but you can also order online now when it comes to the fans well that's that's the best part right these are a few of the fans that are here today and i love this story guys let's talk to you guys we have Karen we have Katie and we have John good morning to you guys uh Katie let's let's set the scene a little bit you told me that you had to come in with your son because your son just got done with surgery and needed some of the World Series gear right yeah well we were in the hospital he had his shunt was fixed and um the teams and everybody at the hospital were all decked out and supporting so we got to watch right and what happened did they win say we won we won absolutely amazing i love stories like this because you're sharing it with your family but also you didn't expect to see Karen walk in the dark your aunt your cousin are here too hey Karen what was it like talk talk right into that microphone what was it i saw her and I'm like oh my god and my son goes mom mom get over here yeah so anyway so we've been helping each other yeah merchandise right love it the community is is like a family today and people like you and look at this guy there he is that's the one that didn't want to be on earlier so that's the cousin we had karen we had katie we got john hey john could you give me a go brewers go brewers brewers guys you know what the crowd here is awesome you can see that togetherness here and bringing the community together all because of the World Series Milwaukee Brewers hold those shirts up guys we're gonna toss at the break here dicks is open they have plenty of merchandise for you And we have more Fox 6 Wake Up after the break.
