Today is primary election day in Wisconsin and the DMV is staying open late for voters who need an ID.

Service centers will remain open until 6 p.m.

to help people get a Wisconsin ID card.

Voters should bring any documents they have, including proof of identity and Wisconsin residency.

The state says a photo ID can be sent overnight and voters may have the option of casting a provisional ballot while they wait.

Gas prices fell 10.9 cents per gallon over the last week, landing at an average of 387 on Monday.

Officials at GasBuddy say that while gasoline prices declined in 47 states over the last week, the wild ride will continue.

Iran is pushing back against reopening the Strait of Hormuz, causing oil prices to edge up in Sunday night trading.

GasBuddy officials say if the Strait remains closed, upward pressure on fuel prices could quickly return.

If the geopolitical situation deteriorates, the national average could climb to its highest level ever recorded this late in the calendar year.

Evening training flights will take place this week and next for the 115th Fighter Wing of the Wisconsin Air National Guard.

The F-35 aircraft will be training until approximately 10.30pm, August 10th through the 13th, and August 17th through the 20th.

Several congressional primaries are also on the ballot, including a competitive Democratic fight in the third district.

The winner will move on to face Republican Congressman Derek Van Orden.

Money is being approved to resurface Wisconsin Highway 89 between Fort Atkinson and Jefferson.

Governor Tony Evers approved the nearly $2 million contract to improve what was described as a deteriorating portion of the four and a half mile area.

Officials noted traffic will be detoured during construction to portions of U.S.

Highways 12 and 18 as well as Wisconsin Highway 26.

Crews are expected to complete the project by October.

Sections of the North Shore parking lot at Devil's Lake State Park will be closed this month for reconstruction.

The Wisconsin DNR announced the project will improve existing parking lots, install standard lighting, and add a universal kayak launch.

Parking lot reconstruction begins in early August and is estimated to be completed in spring of 2027.

Most areas will remain open, but there will be limited parking.

The North Shore Chateau and Rock Elm Shelter will temporarily close for access in late 2026 for short-term renovations.

And that's your state news update.

It's the Brewers and the Padres.

Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports where it's game 2 of the Brewers in San Diego tonight.

Last night the crew had a 2-1 lead when Logan Henderson left a change-up over the plate and Jackson Merrill smacked it over the center field wall for a 3-2 Padres victory.

in a little too long.

Pat Murphy and he was out of gas,

but we didn't really have a loaded bullpen.

Obviously with our three leverage arms out.

We didn't think we had coverage.

Good leverage coverage for 3 and he still was.

This pictures were under control, so he he did fine.

We just didn't want Meryl to beat us.

He's so hot lately and you know, William call for that pitch down away.

But.

you know he missed over the plate with it so it's unfortunate.

Mike Clemens

College hockey five members of the Badgers women's hockey team have been selected led by Cassie Hall to represent Team USA in Canada's Select Series tournament going on this week in British Columbia with sports on Mike Clemens.

Otherwise partly cloudy to mostly sunny are high today in the mid 80s, right around 85 tonight.

Scattered showers or thunderstorms late tonight with a low in the upper 50s to low 60s tomorrow.

Scattered thunderstorms in the low to mid 80s.
