FOX6 News at 5 | Nov. 8, 2026

With stories that matter to you, this is Fox 6 News at 5. So glad you're with us, everybody, here on Fox 6 Now. We are working to learn more tonight about the victims of a deadly shooting yesterday. It is our big story tonight at 5. Police say they found two children and two adults shot to death inside of a West Bend home. One person was injured. First responders took them to the hospital for treatment. Police say they recovered a firearm inside, which they believe was involved. They have not yet released the victims' identities, as they are still notifying family members. Our Durante Matthews is working on the story right now. He's going to have more details for us tonight on Fox 6 at 9 and 10. Stay tuned to that developing story. The Racine County Sheriff's Office captain who lost her race for sheriff this week is now on administrative leave. The captain is Kerry Madrigal. Sheriff Christopher Schmaling makes clear this has nothing to do with the election, he says. The sheriff's office did tell us that Madrigal is on leave pending the criminal investigation of another individual and a pending internal administrative review of her actions. While she isn't the focus of a criminal investigation, the sheriff's office does say that Schmeling turned the allegations over to the Kenosha County Sheriff's Office to protect the integrity of that investigation. The sheriff's office isn't exactly saying what this case is, but this week we do know the Kenosha County Sheriff's Office took over a case from Racine that led to the arrest and charging of the Union Grove High School District Administrator on child pornography charges. Thomas Johnson is being held on a $250,000 cash bond tonight. The criminal complaint against him says investigators found the pornography on his phone after receiving a tip that Johnson had inappropriate contact with current or former students. That complaint also says an unnamed Racine County Sheriff's Office employee came and spoke to Johnson in his office about the case before it had been assigned to an investigator. Now, to reiterate, we have not confirmed it was Madrigal who was involved in that child pornography case. We have reached out to both sheriff's offices and the Kenosha County District Attorney to get that confirmation. We'll keep you updated. Give you a live look outside right now at 5.02 and look at that. Just take a moment. Look at that sunset. Beautiful cotton candy skies right now. It's just a really sunny Sunday with a little feel of fall in the air. Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell in for Tom tonight. What a glorious sunset on these days. It's hard to get your hands around. It's getting dark, like 430-ish. Right, Rob? Yeah, you're absolutely right, Mary. Thank you so much. But yeah, what a beautiful shot from our tower cam there at Estabrook Park. And I've got a few more to share with you here in a second. Lovely night to be out on the weather deck, though. We had a well above average day today and still pretty comfortable. Even in these evening hours, check out these beautiful shots here, a few around the area, and of course our live shot here at our Fox 6 studios. Look at all that beautiful color there of the setting sun from our brown deer location. Now, if you look at things from a statewide point of view over the last few hours, we have been very calm, very dry. It's been relatively active up into the UP in northern Michigan, but that's really about the closest we've had as far as precipitation. We've had this steady northwest wind going throughout the evening. That will continue, but it will become fairly calm as we go through the late evening and overnight tonight. No watches, no warnings, no advisories. Happy to see you. Nice blank map there from the statewide point of view. And right now, visibility is pretty good. As we calm down and cool down tonight, we'll see. We may see some patchy fog forming in parts of the area and in parts of the state. Right now, we are good to go. Air temperature is also good to go right now, 57 degrees. That's warmer than the average high is for this time of year. And obviously, with the setting, sun will cool down, but it's still going to be a pretty comfy night. 54 over Madison, 50 at Green Bay. You can see that we'll continue to be on the mild side through the night tonight, and it looks good into the next couple of days before old man winter shows up for work again. We'll check in on that next. All right. We'll see you in just a bit, Rob. Thanks. You know, it is November. And you know what that means. The 42nd annual Fox 6 Coats for Kids Drive is underway. We'd like your help. Do you have a new or gently loved winter coat to donate? Drop them off at Steinhafels, Landmark Credit Union, or the Salvation Army through December 6th.

LOVED ONES MOURNING THE LOSS OF A BELOVED MILWAUKEE PUBLIC SCHOOLS EDUCATOR. HE WAS FOUND, BARRY BRUCE, BEATEN TO DEATH ON THURSDAY. AND TODAY, THE COMMUNITY GATHERING TO HONOR HIM AT THE SITE WHERE HE DIED. OUR CHRISTINA VENZELS IS LIVE THERE NOW. SO MUCH OUTPOURING FOR A MAN THAT SO MANY PEOPLE LOVED, CHRISTINA. Yeah, Mary. And that was definitely felt tonight. You mentioned he was an MPS special education teacher. That's just one of the roles people here said that he played in their lives. He was a pastor. A dad and really just someone who changed people's lives here in Milwaukee. That vigil happened here at 12th and Walnut. It did just wrap up a couple minutes ago, but this entire area was filled with people in support of him. Want to take you back to what happened. So on Thursday, Milwaukee police, they responded to this area just after 530. Police say that a 22-year-old beat 56-year-old Harry Odell Bruce, who died at the scene. Milwaukee Public Schools confirmed again that he was a special education teacher at Roosevelt Middle School and tonight loved ones held a candlelight vigil to honor him and the legacy that he leaves behind. Again Bruce was a father, minister, coach and community mentor. He also was an active member of World Outreach Center and Bible Training Center. In a press release shared by that organization today it said quote, Bruce was attempting to help a woman who was reportedly being assaulted when he was attacked. The circumstances remain under police investigation. And we mentioned just the outpour of community support. One of the people who spoke here tonight is the principal of Roosevelt and also several students before this live shot said they wanted to say something just about what he meant to them. So clearly a big impact on the community. We also know that police did arrest a 22-year-old And criminal charges are still pending tonight. We talked to many people here at the vigil. We'll have much more on this story coming up later tonight at 9 and 10. Mary, back to you. We look forward to hearing that, Christina. Thank you. Police say a bartender served an 18-year-old who later crashed his motorcycle and died. Some believe that bartender may not have done anything illegal, however. As Waukesha County reporter Brett Lemoine explains, that's because the bartender was the 18-year-old's mother. In July, 18-year-old Joshua Schlagweiler crashed his motorcycle in Muskego and died at the scene. Love the outdoors. Love fishing, hunting, everything about it. His father, Brian Schlagweiler, still can't believe what happened that night. Witnesses say Joshua was going roughly 100 miles an hour, crossed the center line near Woods Road and Parkland Drive, and hit a van. Investigators say his BAC was later determined to be .171. I'm hoping that... A lot more is revealed about the incident. I don't think people know enough of what happened. Schladweiler and his sister, Melissa Weinberger, are speaking out about the case now and hopes criminal charges will be filed because of what happened before the crash. He got off of work at, I think it's 5.30, 5.36, and then he went to Papa Stash by his mom, and he was there until... I believe 10 30. Big Ben police say the incident started at this bar. Surveillance video shows the 18 year old inside drinking beer. Police say this is where their investigation gets complicated. The bartender working that night who served Joshua multiple bottles was his mother. What parent in their right mind would do that? I just don't get it. Got it. And any parent that would? Yeah. Yeah. It's not a good one. Yeah. Big Bend police referred charges Yeah. Yeah. of second degree reckless homicide, sale of alcohol Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. to an underage person, criminal recklessness, Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. and sale to an intoxicated person against Joshua's mom, Angela Schladweiler. She declined to speak with us when we stopped by her house Thursday, and so far, the Waukesha County District Attorney's Office hasn't filed any criminal charges against her. Is there a law in Wisconsin that allows a parent to give their child underage alcohol? Yeah, so Wisconsin's a unique state that allows for parents to either provide alcohol to their child or allow others to provide alcohol to their child as long as they are accompanying their child during the consumption of the alcohol. We asked independent criminal defense attorney Jonathan LaVoy to explain the legalities of this case. He doesn't believe criminal charges will be filed, but he thinks this video is critical. Our company means really having... eyes on in the same room. So the facts of this case would depend on whether the mother was in the same location as the child and whether she essentially was accompanying the child or was with the child during the time the child was consuming alcohol. What do you hope will happen? That she goes to jail for what she did. I mean, who lets their son leave a bar after they're drinking after their parents been serving them? Brian Schlagweiler not only hopes his ex-wife faces criminal charges, he's also pushing for Papa Stash to lose its liquor license. He's not alone. Ray Amdahl also thinks there should be consequences. Amdahl was the man driving the van that Joshua hit. He says he's lucky he walked away from this wreck alive. Quote, I live with daily trauma of the accident as well as my daughter who had witnessed it. I was just an innocent bystander on his way home from helping my daughter with car issues. I want justice for the irresponsibility of Angela and the bar Papa Stash. In my eyes, this whole accident could have been avoided if the mother was actually being a mother instead of a friend. Her son could still be here. Big Bend police tell us a complaint was made to the village, which prompted a municipal review of Papa Stash's liquor license and the operator licenses of several staff members. We stopped by and emailed Papa Stash multiple times looking to speak with the owners, but so far we haven't heard back. I want the bar to lose their license because this is not the first time that... It has happened. Big Bend Police say Angela Schlattweiler served alcohol to her son on, quote, several previous occasions, making this whole situation even more tragic for Joshua's family. His girlfriend just gave birth to their son last month. She named the baby Joshua after the father. You'll never know. Brett Lemoine, Fox 6 News. Brett, thank you for that. The Big Bend Village clerk says a due process hearing for Papa Stash's license is scheduled for November 30th. In the meantime, police turned over additional information to the DA's office. A spokeswoman for the DA says they are reviewing that information to determine if there is any criminal charges that may be ahead. Both West Bend East and West High Schools will remain under remote learning this week. After a fire damaged the building that they share, crews were called to the high school on Wednesday for a fire on the second floor. The district says that the cleanup process is still underway, prompting the move to remote learning. They say the buildings will remain closed until at least Monday the 16th. Some extracurricular activities have been moved to other facilities. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Well, as we head to break, give you another live look downtown. Just been a beautiful day, but Rob Haswell tells us some moisture. That's a nice way of saying it could be on the way later this week. We'll get a look at the extended forecast right after the break. Keep it right here on Fox 6 now. The Packers in New England taking on the Patriots right now. And the Pack is up 24-14 at the half. Things looking real good. Can't look away. Can't get too cocky. We're just telling you. Tim Penford will have live reports after the game from Gillette Stadium on Fox 6 News at 9 and 10. And then stick around for a full game breakdown in the Fox 6 Sports Blitz coming up at 10.30. And that's going to bring us to today's Fox 6 Sports Instapoll. Get your phones ready. You can answer by aiming your device's camera at that QR code you see on your screen. You can also go to fox6now.com. We want to know what position should the Packers shore up before the trade deadline. Offensive line, defensive tackle, running back. You can see the choices and the results coming in live on your screen. We're going to have the final results tonight in the Fox 6. Sports Blitz. Offensive line looking like it needs a little bit of help at this point. If you agree, go ahead and vote. Otherwise, say nay. It's funny. Rob, I would like a poll about the uniforms because I like to bring back the retros. That's as deep as I get into the lineup of the team. The retro stuff is fun, though. I love it when they go back and, you know, bring up those old looks for sure. Perhaps the offensive line needs a little defense from our, you know. Our viewers that we need to shore it up a little. It's not looking so good right now, but you've got the colors on, so I appreciate that. You're obviously, you know, hinting at your preference for uniforms. But as we take a look at our day today, Mother Nature also providing some colors for us. Almost as bright as Mary is tonight. Looking at that beautiful color there right along the horizon and just a little bit. I'll run a time lapse on this sunset. It'll be. Absolutely stunning as we look off to the west here from our Fox 6 studios cam. There's another great shot as we look out over the city from our Estabrook Park topper cam. Right now it's 57. The dew point has dropped down to 37, but that's not all that dry for the first week or so of November. And so that will help us to shore up overnight temperatures a bit. Now, the current wind speeds are still a little noticeable, 5 to maybe 15 miles per hour. But they've definitely come down through the course of the day. If you look at the last 12 hours, It got pretty breezy for a little bit there, and in the last couple of hours or so, we've really seen some steady improvement, and that will continue to ease up and actually become pretty calm as we go through the late evening and overnight tonight. Of course, air temperatures will fall. We'll get down into the 30s, but that's still a good half dozen degrees or more warmer than the average low for this time of year. Now, from a statewide point of view, our satellite and radar couldn't be much cleaner. There's barely anything on it in our neighborhood. Pretty much right across the Badgerland, things are nice and clear. Great evening if you want to get out away from the lights of the city, do some stargazing. Even that moon is almost... Fully gone. We're down to a few fractions of a percentage left of that waning crescent and will be a new moon as we roll on into our Monday, which makes it easier to see a lot of the other stellar objects up there. Now, if we look at the surface map here, you see the cold front that has slid to our south and east. High pressure is building in here, but there's a warm front right in behind that. So air temperatures don't really suffer much. In fact, we'll get another pretty mild Monday and Tuesday before kind of a course correction later in the week. We'll talk a bit more about that and what's causing some of that coming up in just a few minutes. But let's go ahead here with Sky Vision Plus, show you tomorrow's weather today. And what you'll see is that northwest breeze, again, calming as we go through the overnight and into our Monday morning. And then a few clouds Monday, but a southwest breeze with that warm front pushing through, and that'll bump those temperatures up. Then we do clear out again on Tuesday, still very mild conditions for Tuesday, still well above average and still dry even as we head into the afternoon. We'll get on into Tuesday night as far as the numbers go, we'll dip down into the low to mid 30s tonight, but low 30s even upper 20s is pretty typical for this time of year. And from there we push back into the mid to upper 50s, maybe one or two 60s as we get into Monday afternoon. It'd be another mild night for Monday night and then we go even warmer on Tuesday afternoon, getting a few spots up into the low 60s now. If we rewind and zoom out here a little bit with the exclusive Fox weather model, you see a nice calm day, a nice calm night, followed by a nice calm day on Monday. And we keep that going on into our Tuesday. Now, the pattern is going to shift a little bit as we go into the longer range. Some colder air is going to slide into the area along with some precipitation. I think we'll get into some rain by mid to late day on Wednesday. That'll be a straight up rain. And then some lake effect will wrap in along with this colder air. And that'll likely generate some lake effect showers. Possibly mixing in with a few snowflakes as we cool down through parts of Wednesday night and Thursday, but it's not going to stick around. Our soil is far too warm for that. Our Fox 6 Day Planner looking at some upper 50s and low 60s today, or rather for Monday and Tuesday, and then we dip a little low 50s Wednesday back into the 40s Thursday and Friday, warming back up to some mid to upper 40s, pushing 50 by the weekend. Welcome back, everybody. Well, right before the break, Rob told us snow, yeah, could be in the forecast this week, and that's because of this disruption of a polar vortex. So, Rob, I was doing a little Googling before the newscast. Our producer, Brooks, said he may want to take a look at this, because I have no idea. You say polar, I think cold, and that's where my knowledge ends. But this is fascinating. Talk us through the science of a polar vortex. Okay, well, yes. I know that the social media is all lit up with it, and you did a really good thing, obviously, as you are as a journalist, Mary. You did the Google. You did your research, right? Even that sometimes can take you down a weird rabbit hole. So let's start off with what the polar vortex is, and I've got to give big credit to meteorologist Lisa Michaels, who wrote up a great article about this that you can find on Fox6Now.com, and she also made this wonderful graphic. Made my job a little easier today, I've got to say. Polar vortex is a large area of cold air, and it isn't something that pops up or develops. It's always there. It is essentially a permanent fixture on our planet, but its makeup can change. So it's this big pocket of air up in the upper levels in particular, and of course, obviously, the higher latitudes there, thus the polar part, right? It just kind of spins around the North Pole or the South Pole, but in this case, the North Pole. And there's this strong river of air. Jet stream, right, that rotates around that, and it creates that large pressure difference, kind of keeping that in place. But sometimes we get these disruptions, right? A weak jet stream can kind of lose its shape and get all wobbly and discombobulated. And when that happens, we can get this pocket of colder air dislodged from where it typically hangs out, coming down across parts of North America, including... Our neck of the woods, and that colder air sometimes can be brutally cold. We've seen that in the winters. Sometimes when this happens in the fall months, it's not quite as disruptive because just because this is abnormally cold air doesn't necessarily mean it's record-smashing air. But we might feel a little taste of that later this week. And because it's going to not only come down across us but across the Great Lakes, which are very warm at this time of year, spending the whole summer warming up, That flow down. across the warm water will definitely lead to some sort of lake effect precipitation. During some of the colder hours of the day, with some of this colder air, we may see that influence some of the snowflakes in the forecast as we get toward the end of the week. So, Mary, this is something that is going to be all over your social media, likely, because it's very click-worthy, and we've got to get the clicks. And if you do do what Mary did and do your due diligence in Google, you'll find out some of the more intrinsic details on that. And, you know, hopefully you tune into Fox 6 for some even further details. This will be up at fox6now.com, Got it right there, thanks to our very own meteorologist, Elisa Michaels. Any other questions, Mary? I love talking weather nerdy stuff with you. I love this. Yeah, it is interesting. I did read the article. I thought it was really cool that they're always around, but it seemed like it was so early to kick up, if you will. Like, how common? It's, you know, late or early November. It's not something we necessarily see a lot in late November or even late fall, but it does happen. Maybe doesn't quite get the same kind of coverage because this kind of a disruption. We'll be right back. Right, which leads me to my last question there. Is this any predictor? Can you do that to say, oh, boy, this could mean we have a really harsh winter, so come February we're going to get pounded? No, that's a really good question. So, no, there is no necessarily any indicator of future trends with this. We're getting into, and we are actually in the midst of, an El Nino, which could end up being an historic El Nino with the strength of it. And El Nino winters actually tend to be overall warmer winters. Now, that doesn't mean that a polar vortex can't happen because that could just happen for one week and overall it's still a warm winter, but it doesn't necessarily mean a long-range trend. Okay. Good. Interesting. It is so fascinating. Rob, thank you for making it simple. Well, I try. Great. See you later. Thank you. Oh, that was easy. This, not so much. Frustration from the women's cross-country team at UW-Platteville. The investigation that's keeping some of the team out on an indefinite pause. Plus, an orientation of sorts for the newest members of Congress. Their trip to Capitol Hill today, days after the midterms. Well, weeks after UW-Platteville suspended its men's cross-country team, the women's team is dealing with an investigation, too. Runners say about 14 women have been on indefinite pause since October 1st. Brenda Ordanez has the story. Some of the women on that team tell me that they've been on an indefinite pause since October 1st. They say they're hitting a wall with administration with no update and no timeline. They say their friendships and classes are suffering, too. Leaves are falling at UW-Platteville. Snow isn't far behind, but for many runners here, the racing stopped long before. A September 18th letter to the Women's Cross Country upperclassmen says the university received a report that on or around August 26th, they joined activities for new team members that, quote, potentially violated policy, including alleged unsafe driving. A schedule provided by one of the runners indicates the team was at a preseason camp that week. We feel like we're being punished and we don't even know Then came an October 1st email from UW-Platteville's Dean of Students Office. It cites an investigation into, quote, allegations of hazing and says participation is, quote, temporarily paused pending the outcome of the investigation. This includes their participation in track and field, too. Only the freshmen are still running. At this point, we know we're probably not ready. Runners say they've asked the athletic director and other administrators for a timeline. On the men's team suspended since early September, parents say only freshmen have been reinstated. I've been told by the people in administration, like, oh, we like, still support you, like, we're here for you. And then it's like, yeah, you say that. But you still won't tell us anything. So, like, where's the action to back them up? We reached out to the university for comment. They tell us the investigation remains active and they cannot comment any further. Reporting in Platteville, Brenna Ardoniaz, WMTV 15 News. Well, she was right at the beginning of that piece talking about the leaves are falling. Hopefully these windy days isn't going to knock all of them off. So many beautiful colors still out there, Rob. Yeah, you can still find some good spots out there. But you're right, the wind is kind of stripping a lot of the trees out. And you may be down to a few more days left to really get out there and take in the fall foliage. The wind is starting to calm down a little bit. Enough that I can have the fire up and running out here. Don't really need it for warmth, though. It's a pretty comfy night. As we switch over to our live cam, checking out the Marquette Interchange, you can see a beautiful last few moments of some sunlight there on the horizon. Right now it's 57. Now the dew point is 37, and the air temperature will drop down toward that dew point in the overnight hours, as it does so typically on a clear night. The breeze will continue to calm as we roll through the evening and overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. And the temperatures, of course, like I said, We'll follow that dew point and end up down into the mid to maybe upper 30s, which, again, for early November, isn't all that bad. Big picture shows some very clear and calm conditions right across the Badgerland. In fact, I really don't see much in the way of precipitation until Wednesday and Thursday, and hopefully things will time out well for all of the observations for our veterans there on Wednesday. We'll keep a close eye on that. And it's never too early to start thinking about the weekend again. The next one looks pretty good, seasonal and dry. All right, Rob, thank you. See you a little bit later. Well, less than a week after a strong midterm election for Democrats, many of the newly elected lawmakers are on Capitol Hill. Fox's Chad Pergam reports on how they're getting the lay of the land. I want to try to work with everybody to get things accomplished. Optimism on Capitol Hill as more than 110 new House members arrive for freshman orientation just days after last week's blue wave in the midterm election. Everything from health care to housing to electricity prices, we've got a lot to do and I look forward to getting to work. It costs a living. That's not my number one. And while all new members have their priorities, many have never served in office. Sunday's onboarding teaches new members how Congress operates, and it gives them a chance to meet their colleagues ahead of critical leadership elections. I support Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker. We need to be united as Democrats. He is the leader of our caucus. House Democrats must decide if they will rally behind Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker, and House Republicans are choosing between Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan for Minority Leader. But some states are still counting votes in House and Senate races, which remain too close to call. In Alaska. It just takes a little bit longer as we wait for all of the ballots to come in. We know that tens of thousands of ballots still need to be counted and those are going to be early in-person ballots and absentee ballots. Chuck Schumer is favored to win as Senate majority leader for Democrats, despite some opposition. And John Thune is the only candidate for minority leader, despite grumbling there, too. In Washington, Chad Pergram, Fox News. Well, Fox 6 proudly salutes our nation's veterans and the organizations that serve them every day. We believe that our veterans deserve to live with dignity and independence, not on the streets. And that's why we are making camo our cause and support in the honor of U.S. veterans. You can join us by making a donation or wearing some camouflage this Veterans Day coming up Wednesday, November 11th. Post your camo on social with hashtag honor U.S. vets. To donate and learn more information on how you can help U.S. vets prevent and end veteran homelessness, scan that QR code right on your screen. We also have made it easy by going to fox6now.com or go to go.fox.usvets. That's all the information just there, but it's so important to remember our veterans, and so many of them are gone. Important to remember all of those that are still with us. It was a whirlwind. The Brewers wrapped up the season with a big old bow. All while making history. Almost too much to take in, right? So let's have a look back. Not only do you guys, well, it's fun, but because you may have missed something along the way. The World Series recap. We're going to take you beyond the game. That's next. Well, we just can't stop talking about it. Still buzzing after the Milwaukee Brewers made history and won their first World Series title in franchise history. If you'd like to go back and hear from inside the clubhouse and on the field following that historic championship victory, the sports team has us covered in tonight's Beyond the Game. What does that feel like? World champs. It's crazy. You know, it's insane. Just even those words and being with my name involved with that, it's insane. The Milwaukee Brewers are the champions of the world. Of the world, that's right. Brandon, how's that sit on you? Pretty cool. Oh. There's nothing like it. It's special. It really is. You know, I'm so proud of myself. And I'm so proud of having my family with me in this moment, my wife, my kids. I know 100% my mom and my dad on the sky is looking here. What ownership does, what front office does, and just this family aspect. And it's unbelievable to see it all come together right here. It means everything. I mean, just to be a part of this thing and to bring this home, I know how much this means. I get a lot of messages, and I'm so thankful for it, and I can't wait to celebrate with everyone in Wisconsin. I really am. It's awesome. Before that, I mean, when I was in the minor leagues, he was texting me, hey, hey, hey. Oh, that kind of burns. What'd you pour? When did it sink in that you guys were world champions? I don't know if it's still, I still don't know if it has yet. I just know I'm super happy, I'm super thankful. To God be the glory, I can't even describe how happy I am. Happy for everybody in here. It's such a group effort. It's the players, it's the staff, it's the families, it's everybody, they have to put everything into it. So just to see it all pay off really means a lot. Can't believe it's a world championship, but of course it is. I was thinking about a World Series ring. Now I'm thinking about being the best team in the world, in the world, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Love that. The Milwaukee Brewers just won the World Series! I'm Lauren Bowers, Jake Bowers' wife. And we just won the World Series. We just won the World Series! What are you going to remember from this year besides maybe this moment? Uh, uh, uh, uh, buddy! I'm going to... I'm going to remember how, I guess, how much my eyes burned. And I had a general manager say, why are you going to Milwaukee? I said, they have the best fan base, it's a challenge, and, you know, I love the opportunity of those challenges. These fans were challenged, all these, for 44 years, and now it's come to fruition. Generations of Brewer fans who had never had the opportunity to see this, right? So it means the world to all of them, and I think there are so many families that have passed the love they have for the Milwaukee Brewers down from one generation to the next, and I think, you know, this sport brings people together, it unites people. You came out and joined me after Game 2 in Milwaukee. And you said it was pretty sick. And I can't tell you how many people have said that to me. It's pretty sick. This is a little more sick, man. This is a little more sick. This is a little more sick. I'm out of, like, emotions. I've screamed so much. Ouch. My heart has reached an all-time high this postseason. And now I need to kind of relax, calm it down a little bit. But how sick is that, man? Ha ha ha ha ha! Sick is good. The kids say sick is good. All right, maybe we can make some Brewer souvenirs this year for holiday gifts or maybe just do some creative baking in the Brewer's memory as a way to spread some cheer because it's going to cost us more for gifts and family dinners coming up this holiday season. How much more we can expect to shell out and some tips, really good tips to help you save.

Well, from turkey to toys, your holiday shopping list may be getting a little bit more expensive this year. Fox's Natalie Chuck has more on what's behind the higher prices. Consumers, beware. The holidays could cost you way more this year. There are really three ways that the holidays are going to be more expensive for consumers this year. Supply chain management expert Rob Handfield says food, travel, and gifts are all going up. He says underlying causes include the war in Iran, tariffs, and data center construction. That is causing a domino effect on other related industries. Soaring jet fuel costs are making holiday travel the most expensive it's been in a decade. And Deloitte forecast holiday retail sales could hit up to $1.71 trillion. But those presents may come with a hidden cost, tariffs on goods coming into the U.S. Tariffs are imposed on China, which produces the bulk of a lot of gifts that are sold, like toys. And if you were hoping to gift electronics, AI data centers are driving up prices for anything needing chips. They are sucking up the volume of chips, and everyone else is suffering with shortages of chips. Planning a big Thanksgiving feast, expect to pay more for turkey, chicken, pork, and beef because of higher oil costs, an aftermath of the restricted Strait of Hormuz. Farmers primarily use diesel in their tractors. They've had to pass on those higher diesel costs. But there is some relief. Walmart and Target are rolling out grocery bundle deals to help shoppers save big on their Thanksgiving spread. In Los Angeles, Natalie Chuck, Fox News. You have good tips to look for, all right? The holiday season almost here, but now the question is, when should you put up your Christmas tree and other holiday decorations? Well, experts are weighing in. They say Sunday, November 29th. It's really the ideal day for setting up a tree or any other decorations. That's because it's the first Sunday of the Advent calendar. But if it feels wrong setting up for Christmas in November, well, they suggest putting it up the first week of December. Rob, I say just, you know, as early as you can because these dark days, you know, you get so early, dark so early, why not? The twinkle, the twinkle of the lights, it kind of just makes you feel warm. There you go. Yeah, I mean, whatever works for you. And now, you know, most folks, not most folks, but a high percentage having artificial trees, you don't have to worry about it drying out or anything, so you can put it up whenever you want. That's what I say. And leave it up as long as you want. Exactly. If it's a real tree, though, get it out before it turns into a tinderbox, right? Right, absolutely. Mary does not want to have to report on you in January. Anyway. Right, right. Let's talk about our day today. I'm cozy by my very controlled fire out here, and I really don't need it for warmth. It's a very... It's going to be a mild November evening. Switch over to our time lapse. You can see that beautiful sunset there looking west from our Doppler Tower cam here at our Fox 6 studios in Brown Deer, corner of Brown Deer Road and Green Bay. You're not familiar with it. And yeah, what a spectacular way to end our Sunday. It is a very calm night. It's a pretty mild one. We're at 57 degrees right now. The wind is west at around 8 miles per hour. And the dew point's sitting at 37. So relatively dry air in mass, but not too bad. If we look back at our day today, we hit a high of around 60. We had a low of 41. Obviously well above what we call the climate normals, the averages for the climate period of 51 and 36. Didn't touch any records at either end of the extreme, Received very few complaints about the day today. In fact, quite a few attaboys at the Menards earlier. They were pretty happy with it. If we look back at November so far, we've really only had one below average day, one spot on average high, and the rest have been above average, as was a good percentage of our October, which was a top 10 warmest ever October. So kind of keeping that theme going, at least for the short term here. Even as we cool down tonight, these temperatures will remain seasonally on the warmer side of things, mostly in the upper 30s. Milwaukee, maybe some lower to mid 30s for the inland areas. Big picture shows some very dry conditions. High pressure is building in across the area. A warm front swings through for our Monday and Tuesday. So we're going to have a boost of temperatures here for a little while without any kind of precip. Let's go check it out on Sky Vision Plus. Now as we go through the animation here, you'll notice the clear skies through the evening and overnight. You'll also notice the wind speeds calming down overnight heading into our Monday morning. Few more clouds on Monday as that warm front starts to push through, but we expect that to happen dry and we stay calm and dry throughout the day on Tuesday. And despite a wind shift Tuesday, we're still in a fairly mild air mass and we expect well above average temperatures for the first. Couple of days of the week this evening and overnight tonight. Like I said, some mid 30s, upper 30s for the lakeside and metro areas. Low 30s farther inland, but still not bad. And from there, up into the upper 50s, pushing 60 on Monday. Back down into the 30s, maybe even 40s overnight into our Tuesday morning, and then we get up to near 60 again by Tuesday afternoon. Now, the statewide Fox weather model again shows a couple of pretty calm, easygoing days up front here. But things are about to change. By mid to late week, we start to get a little more active. We start to see some rain moving in as we go on into our Wednesday, as you can see right about there. And then the colder air starts to settle in as that low exits, And that might just get us a few. New snowflakes mixing in with some of those rain showers off the lake. Don't expect any accumulation, but hey, cold enough for flakes. Our Fox 6 Day Planner starts off at 58 today, 60 tomorrow, then drops to 52 Wednesday. Low 40s Thursday, Friday, back to mid to upper 40s by Saturday. Oh, it can do better than all. Rob, thank you for that. Based on a best-selling novel, a 10-part Apple TV series getting a whole lot of attention, Nocturne is now streaming, and Gino, Gino Salamone, talked to the cast about this new drama. We're here because we have reason to believe there are more victims. No, we're here because I brought you here. You talk to me when you find out who you're acting with in this and that you belong with actors of this caliber and what kind of experience is that? I mean, that's always the question. You're like, do I? But I was so thrilled, excited, you know, initially also intimidated. And, you know, I really admire Liev and Steven and also the rest of our cast. We like have a really good, we have a great group of people. I think we really like lucked out, honestly, but largely because of you two, you know. And so I... Yeah, I mean, what's really cool, I think, about being an actor is you're always meeting your... peers and being able to always kind of take notes and you're interacting and able to actually learn all the time if you're open to it. I don't know if every job gives you that opportunity, really. So it's cool. You're always like needing to expand, needing to humble yourself, needing to adjust. And yeah, it was so fun. I don't know. Well, growing and watching Liev and Stephen do their thing and in different ways, too, and being like, oh, this is how Stephen does it, this is how Liev does it. And how should I do it? And how should I copy both of them at the same time and do the show? He figures out who you are. So, yeah, I want to say to you, you know, sometimes I watch an actor and it's like they're in my mind for a certain role, but you completely disappear, which is the biggest compliment I can give you. This is a new I don't know who this guy is, but now I do. Does that make sense? That's amazing compliment. Thank you very much. Really appreciate it. So how do you do that? Um, I, you know, I think film is, uh, a really reactive medium. I think so much happens in the reaction shot. And when you have great actors that you're working with, who are giving you a lot for being dynamic and impulsive and generous, like Zazie was, and, and Steven was, it, it makes for better work it makes for it's more fun it's more dynamic it's more it's more compelling and it gives you more to do in that reaction shot um and i i honestly when i when i heard about this team i noticed this is your interview it's become a bit of a love fest and i'm super grateful for it but this team was like unbelievable that uh that they put together bill camp corna uh rory culkin And there's just an extraordinary group of actors that like. You know, really, really made it feel like an ensemble. And when you're doing something like that, when you're all collectively kind of working towards a unified goal, it's extraordinary what you're capable of. I'm finding it. Ooh, did you get chills? Nocturne now streaming on Apple TV. It looks like a good one. Thank you, Gino, for that. Well, here at Fox 6, we want to keep you hip and fresh, so we're giving you a tip on how to sound really cool or at least maybe start a conversation at an upcoming holiday gathering, for example, up next, the word of the year. And let's just say it's a word that can be seen as bad or good. You decide. All right, so the Collins Dictionary has picked its word of the year, and it's a term that's not even in your dictionary. It is called mogging. It's a slang term you may have seen online this year or heard one of your nieces and nephews, if you're young enough, using. It means to outshine, completely outshine, or upstage someone. The word is almost often used by younger generations. Seeing a 210% increase in usage this year, well, last month, dictionary.com declared maxing the word of 2026. I like to think of it as extra, but I'm told it's a good word. You can use it. Sound hip and cool. Extra's still good, too. Glitzy, clamory, whatever. Either way, we're sparkling at 9 and 10 on Fox 6. Join us in. A lot to catch up with.
