Those stories and more from Seattle and around the world. But first, today's top stories and breaking news with FOX 13's Sabira Rayford. FOX 13 is following breaking news out of eastern Washington where a Spokane County deputy has died following a shooting. And another deputy who was injured is not expected. to survive. The sheriff's office responded to domestic violence called Tuesday afternoon after a woman ran to her neighbor's home saying she had been shot by her brother. Law enforcement ...poured into the area and found a person dead in a yard. The suspect was barricaded in a home, but when a SWAT team and deputies tried to enter, they were met by gunfire. The suspect was later found dead along with another person in the home. The sheriff's office says the deputy who died is survived by his wife and two children, while the second deputy who was shot remains on life support in critical condition surrounded by family. The sheriff's office saying in a statement, quote, Although we know our deputies knew the risk, they break. Bravely moved toward danger to protect others they did not know. They did this with honor and with an unwavering sense of duty to their oath to serve and protect the citizens of Spokane County. They heroically placed themselves in mortal danger. They are true examples of selfless service and dedication. Turning now to the results of the 2026 midterms after Democrats flipped multiple Senate seats and gained a large majority in the House. Today, they're laying out plans for the coming months, while President Trump weighs in on Tuesday's losses. Fox News correspondent Caroline Elliott has more from Washington, D.C. Yes, Sabira, election night was a major upset for Republicans after losing the House and the Senate. Now, it's not unusual for the party in power to take a hit during the midterms, but some of these losses were in deep red states. And as of tonight, the Senate race in Mississippi and Alaska are still too close to call. It wasn't simply a blue wave, it was an American tsunami. Democrats taking a victory lap after a historical win Tuesday night, sweeping battleground states President Trump previously won by double digits. If I was on the ballot, we would have won. It's the political equivalent of a meteor strike. That went all around the United States. In a lengthy post on X, Vice President J.D. Vance blamed the Iran war for Tuesday's loss saying, if you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next six years was worth it, then do so. Meanwhile, President Trump defended his decision to start the war. It drove the gasoline up a little bit short term. And probably it's true, but at the same time, if I had it to do again, I'd have to do it again, because long term, it's the only answer. In the new Congress, Democrats plan to introduce a resolution to end the war, though some of the newly elected say they will work with the president on certain issues. Trying to pass comprehensive immigration reform, reform this broken criminal justice system. And the battle is on for who will lead Republicans on Capitol Hill after Speaker Mike Johnson announced plans to not run for House Minority Leader. Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan has thrown his hat into the ring and sources tell Fox News Digital House Majority Leader Steve Scalise plans to announce a bid. And since last night, we've heard the president say he would be willing to work with Democrats, but the question is, will Democrats work with him? We know the president has said the first thing Democrats will do if they win is try to impeach him, so this could be a tough final two years for the president. Sabira. Caroline, thank you. One of the most closely watched races here in Washington was the U.S. House seat in District 3. Republicans were hoping to flip this swing district in southwest Washington, but incumbent Democrat Marie Glusenkamp-Perez has fended off a Republican challenger, State Senator John Braun. The latest numbers showing a lead of 55 to 44. This race has been called and, as Fox 13's A.G. Janneville has been following those developments from Vancouver. Tuesday night, Representative Marie Glusenkamp-Perez giving somewhat of a victory speech, unofficial one as the race had not been called just yet. But while this race had garnered national attention because of the impact that this district could have on the House, Representative Glusenkamp-Perez focusing her speech not on the drama between the two political sides, but instead wanting to unify her voice. As a representative for the entire community of District 3. That they actually reflect our values and not this strict, very plastic idea of the R versus D, but instead look towards the quality of the candidate and the loyalty of the candidate to serve in their district. And I'm profoundly excited about the opportunity here to pass strong ethics reforms to end the war in Iran, to make it easier to own a home and level the playing field for small businesses. This will be Glusenkamp-Perez's third term representing this district. Reporting in Vancouver, A.J. Janneville, Fox 13 News. All of Washington's incumbent Democrats in the House have held their seats, but there's a close congressional race in eastern Washington. Incumbent Republican Michael Baumgartner is holding on to a narrow lead over his Democratic challenger, Carmela Conroy. The latest numbers show just a one. point lead. Washington voters also deciding three statewide initiatives. Let's take a look at the latest numbers on those. I-645, which aimed to repeal Washington's new tax on household income over $1 million, on track to fail by a healthy margin. Initiative 001, which expands parental access to student records in public schools, also on track to fail. The one initiative that's currently leading with a yes vote is I-638, which would ban transgender athletes from participating girl sports. This election, Washington voters also had a rare opportunity to reshape the state Supreme Court with an unprecedented five out of nine seats on the ballot. Let's run through the numbers on those five races. For position one, incumbent justice Colleen Melody holding a strong lead over challenger Scott Edwards. For state Supreme Court, position three and open seat, Jamie Hawk is leading David Stevens. Another open seat for position four, and this is a close race with Sean O'Donnell holding a narrow lead over Ian Burke. In position five, incumbent Theo Angeles, who was appointed to the bench by Governor Ferguson early this year, leading over Dave Larson. And finally, position seven, the state Supreme Court's Chief Justice Deborah Stevens holds a commanding lead over challenger Todd Bloom. Let's turn now to meteorologist Claire Anderson. All right, taking a look outside this evening. We do have showers increasing, dark and cloudy out there as that sun is officially set. Now we've got four o'clock sunsets. Looking at our conditions for today, it was mid to upper 50s, so pretty mild out there. 57 for SeaTac and Tacoma. Average highs for this time of year remain in the mid 50s, so a little bit above average, and we're staying like that here for the next several days. Now, as we watch this next system slow. Slowly move on shore. Rain increases. It's a rather weak front, meaning not a whole lot of rain. A little breezy out there. We will see widespread light showers out towards the coast for slowly making its way now into the south. Puget Sound, Olympia, Tacoma creeping up towards Seattle in the I-90 corridor out towards the coast as well. Rainfall totals about a tenth of an inch out towards Forks. A few hundredths of an inch out towards Hoquiam. Looking at winds, it's going to get a little breezier through tonight. Tonight, out towards La Push, Bellingham, Windy Island, we'll see those winds between 25 to 30 miles per hour. No wind advisory is expected, but again, a little gusty out there. Futurecast tonight, scattered showers through later this evening. Most of the rain moves up to the foothills by 11. High elevation, mountains, snow. Scattered showers start to taper by early Thursday. Partly cloudy skies throughout the day, some nice sunbreaks through the afternoon time. Mostly cloudy out towards the coast. We do see more rain heading into Friday. A wet start to the day really continues through the morning into the afternoon as well with scattered showers. And then we do see some more rain into Sunday. Winds this evening starting to pick up again by 7 o'clock. Breezy for Everett, south-south. Nothing too strong for the Puget Sound, but 15 to 20 miles per hour. A little bit stronger into the evening hours, about 30 to 35 up towards Bellingham. We do see temperatures tonight milder, a little breezy with those showers moving through. Highs tomorrow still in the upper 50s. Forecast, we see nice conditions for Saturday. Highs in the 60s. The Seahawks will be without starting quarterback Sam Darnold this week. Head coach Mike McDonald announced today that Darnold... Darnold injured his quad late in Monday night's game versus the Bears and that he played through a cracked rib from early in the game. McDonald says Darnold is week to week and that Drew Locke will start versus the Cardinals. Then Sunday with Jalen Milroe ready to back up. We'll hear from the coach later in the show. There's more news ahead with FOX 13's David Rose and Hannah Kim. Tonight, we're seeing the moments right after a 15-year-old in Pierce County was hit by an accused hit-and-run driver. Deputies say it didn't take long to track her down. The teen was on his bike trick-or-treating in Graham, just off 224th Street East, around 7 o'clock at night when the crash happened. Deputies say after he was hit, the driver went on to hit several other cars, then drove into oncoming traffic. People who saw the crash say the boy was hit so hard he flew through the air and even his shoes came off. They also told deputies there would be major damage to the car that hit him. Sure enough, deputies found a broken down car nearby, and you can see the bumper was torn away. When deputies tried to talk to the driver, they had some questions for her, and she had trouble answering. So what happened to your car? Your bumper's hanging out? Do you know what's going on? How much have you had to drink? Not a lot. How much is a lot? How much is not a lot? I had one shot when I was at the trick-or-treating with my... You had one shot? Mm-hmm. How long ago was that? Probably about 45 minutes, an hour ago. Okay, one shot of what? The 36-year-old was arrested for DUI. Deputies say she will face several charges, including reckless endangerment, since she had kids in her car at the time of the crash. The 15-year-old is in serious condition and is recovering in the hospital. Marysville police are crediting a GPS tracking system for helping them catch a suspect who was driving a stolen car. In this video, you can see the officer driving their patrol car when they spot a car with a stolen license plate. A corporal then showed up with a tool called StarChase. It's a tracking system that deploys an adhesive tracking device onto a car. The technology is designed so officers can track the car remotely. Hopefully, it helps cut back on having to do a potentially dangerous pursuit. Turns out this driver had no plans on stopping even once they were on the ground. The department says while technology will never replace good police work, using it responsibly can help officers make better decisions and create some safer outcomes. The 911 call made by a father who rushed into his daughter's school during a shooting in Bend is now being released. This is a photo of Caleb Giamonco from last month. He was driving home for lunch when he saw the shooter at Silver Real Elementary School. He called 911 saying he would kill him. The operator told Giamonco to hold off doing anything and to wait for an officer, but he was able to enter the school through an open window and fired his gun, killing the 16-year-old Someone's at the school. My daughter's at school with a gun. I have a gun and I will shoot them right now. I started hearing children pleading for their lives and then I started hearing gunfire and I just started army crawling faster and faster and I just told myself, this is probably the last thing that I'm ever going to do. You know, I called her and I was like, Mom, I just had to take the life of what I think might be a child. The gunman killed three children and a teacher and seriously hurt another child and another teacher. Police have credited Giamonco with saving numerous other lives by intervening in the shooting. Flags across Washington will be at half-staff on Friday in honor of longtime Whitman County Sheriff Brett Myers. He died from a rare and aggressive neurological disease. Just days before his death, he submitted his resignation, citing his illness as the reason. In a letter, he said serving the Whitman County community was one of the biggest honors of his life. The flags will remain at half-staff until sunset Friday night. Navigating icy rural roads to feed homebound neighbors just got a lot easier in Snohomish County. Well, Homage Senior Services is rolling out a heavy-duty upgrade to make sure winter weather doesn't keep tens of thousands of warm meals from reaching those who need the most. Fox 13's Frankie Thompson has a look inside the new ride. In the rural parts of Snohomish County, navigating winter deliveries takes more than just a regular vehicle. Especially when winter happens and inclement weather and everything else. That's why Homage Senior Services is rolling out a new solution. A larger Meals on Wheels van. Delivery driver Wayne Rose says it's a much-needed upgrade. So what's nice about this is it does give more access. It drives higher so you have better visibility. It doesn't scrape on the curbs. Built with extra cargo space, it lets drivers navigate tricky terrain safely while hauling roughly 630 meals a week, which translates to up to 36,000 meals a year throughout the county. Really relieving that stress, that need in our program is a huge relief in having this new vehicle. Registered dietician Erica Polny says this new van comes at a crucial time as more seniors and people living with disabilities are asking for this kind of help. As well as just in this economy, unfortunately, I've heard so many clients, like one the other day, where he wouldn't be able to... Eat even two meals a day without having meals on wheels. So that need is certainly growing. Each delivery packs a full week of support, including seven balanced meals, fresh produce, milk, and bread. We even provide extras depending on donations of pet food, so those seniors also don't have to worry about... Where their pet's next meal is coming from, because those companions are very important to someone who's alone. The nonprofit says those weekly deliveries double as vital wellness checks, giving families some peace of mind and their loved ones some company. They look forward to us delivering. They want to have that interaction. And if nobody else in their family is coming by or they don't have any caretakers on a regular basis, sometimes we are the only person they see in a week. Frankie Thompson, FOX 13 News. The van was funded by the Edmonds-based Hazel Miller Foundation. It is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting programs that address poverty, hunger, and other community needs. We'll be right back. There is a new captain at the helm of Seattle's ball club. The Mariners' new manager, Jason Kanzler, just addressed the media for the first time since taking the job. And FOX 13's Lauren Donovan was in the room where it all happened. He's taught high school physics and helped coach a World Series winner. Now Jason Kanzler is taking the reins of the Seattle Mariners without ever having managed a team. I bring a unique path, a unique set of skills and experiences. At 36, Kanzler is baseball's second youngest active manager. He replaces Dan Wilson after the Mariners finished with 76 wins and 86 losses, missing the playoffs just a year after coming within one win of the World Series. I'm the right man because I believe that every player and every person can be better. And I think these players... So deeply want to be better and to grow and to win as a unit. Kanzler's path here, it started on the diamond. Drafted in 2013 by the Minnesota Twins as an outfielder, he spent three seasons in the minor leagues. Then Kanzler retired and made a serious pivot. High school physics, that is. Kanzler began teaching it at Katy High School in Texas, and that, too, is where he got his start in coaching. By 2019, he had skyrocketed up to the Houston Astros as a minor league hitting coach. Three years later, he'd find himself on the biggest stage in all of baseball when the team won the World Series. Most recently in 2024, the Chicago Cubs brought him on as director of their farm system. And now, look where we are. I realized very quickly throughout it that managing a major league club is just the pinnacle of what I was already doing as a farm director, where I had to manage an entire minor league system. This is just at a way higher magnitude, with brighter lights, with a third deck. Reporting at T-Mobile Park, Lauren Donovan, Fox 13 News. And we'll be right back. Election results continue to roll in after last night's midterm election. Fox 13 political analysts, Democrat Sandeep Kaushik and Republican Randy Pepl, both expected a potential blue wave going into the election. But after last night's results, they were surprised by how massive the swing was in favor of Democrats. They joined Good Day Seattle this morning to talk more about their perspective. These results are, you know, at the legislative level, particularly on the House side, are just incredible for Democrats. I do think we are seeing some of the fallout from Trump in Washington state now crossing that Cascade Divide. Well, Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, put it pretty well. He said this is an extinction level event. And, you know, so if the meteor hits and kills all the dinosaurs, you know, what will be left of the Republican Party? I'm not sure. But dinosaurs like Randy. Yeah, old people like me. But that is the real challenge for the Republican Party is how are they going to reinvent themselves to move past the Trump era? And will that take two years, four years, eight years? This afternoon, Governor Ferguson discussed last night's midterm election, and he is celebrating the numbers that show voters have rejected I-645, which would have repealed Washington's new tax on household income over $1 million. Key reasons why the people rejected initiative 645 so overwhelmingly is they saw tax breaks for themselves in that. They saw that for tens and tens of thousands of small businesses, they will no longer be paying the B&O tax because we're taking revenue from the millionaire's tax. And eliminating the B&O tax for tens of thousands of businesses. The governor's office says the new income tax bill will reduce or eliminate the B&O tax for 138,000 small businesses. But critics argue the legislation will have an overall damaging effect on Washington's economy, ranking the state's tax structure as one of the least competitive in the nation. Meanwhile, in Seattle, a sales tax increase for expanded bus service is on pace to get the good to go. The Seattle transit measure will add a 0.15 percent sales tax increase on Good Day Seattle this morning. Mayor Katie Wilson, who was a proponent of the measure, joined us to talk about the effort. I mean, last night was amazing, right? I mean, I think I knew that Seattle supports transit and expected this measure to pass, but I did not expect 73%, and that number is only going to go up in the days ahead. What we're seeing here is this is going to allow a really major expansion of bus service in our city. That's going to mean that your bus comes more often, is more reliable. You can find the entire conversation with Mayor Wilson on our website. Just go to fox13seattle.com. Well, taking a look at the results nationally, as we've been saying, Democrats took back both the House and Senate last night, defeating Republicans in almost all of the battleground states. As reporter Rebecca Castor explains, they're already previewing priorities for the new Congress. Democrat leaders are calling last night's results a generational remake of the political map after flipping several states previously won by President Trump by double We have five words for the American people. Relief is on the way. A blue wave sweeping Democrats into power Tuesday night, giving them full control of Congress for the final two years of President Trump's term. Tonight, we defeated Goliath. In a battle between the money and the many, that the many really can win. Democrats flipped Senate seats in Ohio, Texas, Maine, Iowa, Kansas, North and South Carolina, while defending open seats in Michigan and New Hampshire. They also secured a large majority in the House. We face some real odds here. It's only happened twice in 90 years that a sitting president has picked up or held seats for his party in that first two-year cycle. Republicans are dressing their wounds as Fox News' voter poll shows roughly half of voters cited government corruption and the cost of living as their top issues, higher than immigration and the war in Iran. They really probably weren't willing to do the short-term consequence of playing. Paying more for gasoline and that, you know, I understand that. President Trump says he's willing to work with Democrats on some issues in the next Congress, but they're already putting him on notice with plans to aggressively investigate him in his cabinet after their historic wins. It's going to be our responsibility to follow the facts, let the chips fall where they may, and make sure that wrongdoers are being held accountable. Some results are still coming in, including in the Alaska and Mississippi Senate races, which will determine just how large the Democrats' majority will be. On Capitol Hill, Rebecca Castor, Fox News. Tonight, President Trump is weighing in on the results of last night's midterm election. He says his support did not carry over to his party's candidates. No, look, I mean, if I were on the ballot, we would have won. You saw the people that were packed, thousands and thousands of people at every rally. And if I was on the ballot, we would have won. But they just, you couldn't transfer that love. There was such love at those rallies. It was incredible. We weren't able to transfer the love to candidates. As we mentioned, the president said he plans to work with Democrats while pointing to his veto power if he opposes their legislation. President Trump's top trade negotiator wants him to call a truce with Canada and end the trade war. Both sides say they are making progress, but as reporter Caroline Shively explains, there are still several issues that need to be worked out. As the tariff war with Canada continues, President Trump's top trade advisor is reportedly pushing him to make a deal, and it could be working. After talks with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, the president said Tuesday he's close to signing a new agreement with Canada. But Prime Minister Mark Carney says there are still a number of sticking points, and in the meantime, he'll keep pivoting to trade with the EU and China. It means affordability. More competition, more choice, easier access. It means opportunity, opportunity for our youth, opportunity for our researchers, opportunity for our companies. And that's a sentiment increasingly shared by other American partners who are looking for more stable trade relationships around the world. Rising costs, climate change, Trade, weaponization of tariffs, and all of this hitting directly. The pockets of our people. The president is still standing behind the tariffs. He made it a big issue on the campaign trail, claiming they're not only contributing to American success, but also global stability. Tariffs have helped us end. Eight wars, five of the eight, I would say, was because of trade and tariffs. Of course, that puts him at odds with the Democratic majority in Congress, which is expected to make tariff relief a big focus next year. We've got to claw back the tariff policies so that we're actually having some input into what's happening in tariffs, not crazy tariffs. Well, Canadian Prime Minister Carney says he's hoping for a new agreement with President Trump sometime over the next few weeks. Jury deliberations are underway in actor Russell Brand's rape and sexual assault trial in London. He arrived at the courthouse today after the judge instructed the jury to reach a unanimous decision after three weeks of evidence. The actor faces three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault, and one count of attempted indecent assault involving six women. The allegations range from 1999 to 2009. Brand has pleaded not guilty to all seven charges. Krista Pike, the convicted murderer who survived a botched execution last month, is asking not to be sent back to her former prison block in Tennessee. Pike filed an emergency federal court motion to stop authorities from transferring her back, saying her life could be in danger. She's currently in solitary confinement at a Nashville Rehabilitation Center infirmary as she recovers from the execution attempt. Pike says she's been in constant pain since surviving the lethal injection. She says it's left her physically weak, vulnerable, and unable to protect herself from other inmates. Pike was sentenced to death in 1995 for torturing and killing her classmate, Colleen Slemmer. Google says schools that ban artificial intelligence will not be able to use the site's search feature. The tech company says it will turn off AI in its educational apps for student accounts by default. That includes disabling Google search. School administrators will have the option to enable AI tools themselves, but because Gemini... AI Assistant is so integrated in their search platform, schools that don't want to use AI won't be able to use the feature. Critics are accusing the company of forcing AI into public schools. Google argues its policy is designed to give schools choices on how students interact with AI in the classroom. Disastrous flooding in the Southwest has left at least one person dead after a sudden downpouring of rain. As reporter C.B. Cotton explains, communities across parts of Arizona are underwater. The wild west turning into the waterlogged west after torrential rains drown out the four corners region of Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. The rain is mostly gone, but floodwaters remain after massive downpours overwhelmed what's typically a very dry and arid landscape. An Arizona man recalls the rush to evacuate once the nearby river started to rise. Less than a minute went from my ankle to about my knee and I knew I had to get out of there. He was able to move to high ground and make it through safely with his family. Some of his neighbors were not so lucky. It's devastating. People lost their homes. I know the one lady She doesn't even know where her camper is. They went down the river. First responders wading through chest-high floodwaters to reach people who were stranded in Arizona. The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office says they rescued at least 60 people this weekend alone. Even for those whose homes are still standing, there's a huge mess to deal with. This Colorado community busting out shovels and getting to work to clear out the massive amounts of mud and debris. We've got a community effort, and we're trying to get it to a point where it can at least dry and make it start to recover. Are you looking forward to a shower after this? Pretty much. Maybe a hot tub. Meteorologists say El Nino is disrupting weather patterns and fueling the severe storms. In New York, CB Cotton, Fox News. It's November and that means it's time to get ready for any upcoming rain. There are some things you can do to make sure your storm drain in your neighborhood is ready. Seattle Public Utilities did a demonstration this afternoon setting down those sandbags you see there. The agency is mobilizing multiple drainage crews, heavy equipment and emergency staff to show how they're preparing. It's a lot easier to clear that drain and prevent it before the rains come. If you're in the middle of a heavy rainstorm and all that water is flowing right now it's kind of miserable to go outside in the pouring rain and have to deal with that clogged drain that's causing that flooding in the street. Rake those leaves up now while it's dry. Here are some things you can do to keep your nearby storm drains clear. Rake leaves before they reach the street. Use a rake or other tools to clear the drains. Don't use your hands. And make sure to stay out of the roadway while you're working. The agency says you can put out 10 extra bags of leaves each collection day in November for no additional charge. Starting tomorrow, recreational salmon fishing will be closed for all water south of the Hood Canal Bridge. Wildlife officials say that also includes the Hood Sport Hatchery Zone. Adult salmon are returning to the hatcheries and are well below the numbers that experts were hoping to see. They say closing recreational fishing for the rest of the season could help their breeding goals. The Seahawks fell to 4-4 on the season, and that's just the beginning of the bad news. Now they head into a divisional matchup without their starting QB. Fox 13's Matthew Smith is joining us now. So, Matt, what do we know? Well, David, Coach McDonald says Sam Darnold is out for the team's matchup this Sunday with the Arizona Cardinals. And what happens next? Well, it's TBD. Head Coach Mike McDonald announcing that Darnold will be week-to-week after injuring his quad late in Monday night's game against the Bears. But get this, that's not all. He cracked a rib. On just the second offensive snap of the game. So while Darnold is now week-to-week, Drew Locke will get the nod. And that means Jalen Milrow will move up into the team's backup role. He's tough as nails. I mean, I think the second play of the game, just asked him if I could share this, but, like, you know, cracked his rib on the second play of the game. So playing the whole game without even making a name of it and playing his tail off and competing, I just think it's worth noting how tough this guy is. And he'll be back soon and later, I'm sure. As for the rest of the team, their next matchup will be right here on FOX 13. Start the day off right and early, 8 o'clock, with FOX NFL Sunday leading you to the kickoff with Cowboys and Colts. Right after that, it'll be Seahawks-Cardinals. Of course, you'll want to stay with FOX 13. Our game day post show kicks off around 5 o'clock. Perhaps the biggest matchup in Seattle sports this weekend will actually be taking place on the other side of the country. No, we're not talking Seahawks. Seattle Reign will be playing David as they visit Goliath. We're talking Gotham FC, fresh off their first ever NWSL Shield. The number one seed in the playoff is a formidable squad. The Reign looking to continue their momentum after a decision day win in front of 16,000 of their fans. You know, we're in playoffs. I think anybody can beat anybody in this league. That's the NWSL. So just to get into playoffs is great. I think we know what we're capable of. And it's three games in a row. I think that was something that was big for us this year is how do we win three games in a row because that's what you have to do in playoffs. But yeah, I mean, Gotham was the eighth last year and they won. So anything obviously is possible. I think if you know we put a full performance together, we know we can go far in this tournament. Now sticking on the pitch, a postseason berth now on the line for the Sounders after their last loss. The team announced today that they will be opening up select sections on the 300 level over at Lumen Field for their match against LAFC. Win or lose, this is the final regular season game for you to cheer on your Sounders. Back to you. And a reminder, the Fox Local Live Desk is always streaming live wherever you stream Fox 13.

Hey, Wednesday, everyone. I'm meteorologist Claire Anderson in the Fox 13 Weather Center. For today, we've been seeing... More clouds out there heading into this evening with cooler temperatures into tonight as well. We are tracking more showers, especially later this evening into the overnight hours. Rain and wind out along the coast. As we move into our Thursday, we do get a bit of a rain break. Mainly dry conditions for Thursday, so enjoy that because a soggy day ahead heading into Friday. A little bit drier for Saturday and then another round of rain for Sunday. So kind of going back and forth in this season. Looking at our high temperatures today, mid to upper 50s, so it was another mild afternoon, 57 for SeaTac. We're usually at 55 degrees this time of year, so a little bit warmer for those spots. As we head into tonight, this frontal system is moving onshore. Considered a weaker frontal system, meaning not too much rain, breeziness, but mostly out along the coast and the north interior. So as we move through the rest of tonight, these showers will move further onshore. Mostly dry by Thursday morning, you can see that rain out towards the coast as we look at our forecast by 11:30 tonight. Most of those showers have moved through, so spotty rain is still possible. A foggier start to the day. We do see some sun breaks here and there, especially around the Puget Sound out towards the coast. Clouds linger a little bit longer. Mostly dry though. Potentially a sprinkle passing through. Can't rule it out. But overall, most of the rain is done. Thursday night into Friday though, another push of rain. Here's Friday morning. A few scattered showers to start the day. Wet out along the coast. That continues throughout Friday afternoon into the evening hours. It gets a little bit more scattered. We do see some drier time into Saturday though. As we move that warm front early Saturday, behind it, drier conditions, a few sunbreaks, and then we do see more rain, of course, for Sunday. How much rain are we talking about, though, with this event? Not a whole lot. Here's a look at some of the forecast models. Late tonight, we'll see about a tenth of an inch. Seattle, Bellingham through 11 o'clock, third of an inch out along the coast. But into tomorrow morning, again, most of the rain out towards the beaches. Not a whole lot of moisture with this. Winds will get breezy, though. By tomorrow morning, 20 to 25 miles per hour, Snoqualmie Pass, a calmer Thursday, but I do want to show you heading into Friday, winds pick up out towards the beaches, north interior.

So we'll be watching that really closely as we get closer to the event, but just keep that in mind for the end of the week.

It is a digital attack on Europe's food supply. Officials say hackers are going after grocery stores, targeting security vulnerabilities in their outdated systems. And those officials say the hackers are taking over refrigeration systems and cranking up the temperature, spoiling huge supplies of food. The problem appears to stem from software that allows fridges and freezers to be remotely controlled. Cybersecurity experts say the systems run on outdated models with major security flaws, and some of the refrigeration units are no longer getting new software updates. If we look at the technical complexity of this attack, it's very easy someone of 15 years old could do this. And therefore these devices will now remain vulnerable for the rest of their lifespan. Vulnerabilities that have been tolerated for far too long can now be discovered and exploited at a scale and pace that was once unimaginable. And it's not just happening in Europe. A pair of military bases in Arizona and Rhode Island reported on the same day in August their freezers suddenly went into defrost mode. The Pentagon is now investigating. Thank you. Thank you. Today is National Stress Awareness Day, Thank you. which falls on the first Wednesday in November every year. Brain science experts are using this time to share research on how stress can change someone's personality. Reporter Ted Linder has a closer look from New York. This year will soon come to a close, and the holiday season can be a stressful time for many. Economic woes, grief, and family matters can all contribute to stress. William Chopik is an associate professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Washington University. He and his team followed 2,000 people over nearly 20 years. Each person filled out a daily diary reporting stress and their emotions. And, as it turns out, stress affected personality. One thing we found is that people who really struggled to regulate their emotions and stress over time, they ended up becoming less extroverted, so they were kind of more closed off. They also became less agreeable, so they were a little bit meaner. Chopik breaks down the science behind his findings, citing how stressful situations prompt the release of stress hormones. In some contexts, that's really good. You know, it helps you get through really challenging circumstances or to avoid danger. But after repeated experiences with stress, Chopik says those hormones are thought to build up over time, which can lead to sickness and mental and physical health issues. So, you know, when you experience a stressor at, you know, one time point, it's not pleasant for sure, but, you know, it's unlikely to really change you as a person. But the danger is a lot of these things accumulate over time, and they can maybe fundamentally change who you are, you know, later in life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists ways to cope with stress, Including exercise, meditation. And journaling, spending time outdoors, and connecting with others.

It is a tradition in Philadelphia, getting married in a park appropriately named Love Park. It all started back in 2018 when two couples got married in that park. And word spread. People started calling it Wedding Wednesdays. Today. The park welcomed its 1,000th wedding Wednesday. According to the city of Philadelphia, these weddings happen, rain, or shine. And I love the fact that, hey, it's cheap. That's right, because weddings will bankrupt you. Well, you don't want to miss this tonight. Watch as an alligator in South Carolina makes its way to a bagel shop. Not a bangle shop, a bagel shop. I'm thinking of the bangles. Surveillance video shared by the shop shows the gator entering the back of the building. What? It then walks through a storage room into the kitchen and ends up in the bagel shop. Police were able to come and safely take it away. The business joked that word of its fresh bagels had made its way to the swamp. Yeah, crocodile, I mean, the alligator knew what it wanted, right? Yeah, I think so. He's a little bit lost. Do alligators smell? They must. That is a good question. Let's go find out. Let's ask AI. Thanks for joining us for Seattle News Tonight.
