The road might buckle up.

The DOT is warning drivers to watch for pavement buckling as high temperatures move across parts of Wisconsin this week.

Pavement buckles can happen when the weather quickly shifts from cool to very hot.

As the pavement expands, slabs can push against each other and create sudden bumps or dips in the road.

Officials say it's difficult to predict where buckling may happen, so drivers should stay alert, slow down, and keep their full attention on the roadway.

Drivers can check 511 Wisconsin for the latest traffic incidents or delays.

Serious pavement problems should be reported by calling 911.

The owner of the Monaco Brewing Company is pushing back after being left off the ballot for governor.

According to WizPolitics, Kirk Bangstad now plans to take the fight to court.

State election officials say Bangstad only had about 1,500 valid signatures to get on the Democratic ballot.

That's well below the required 2,000.

Bangstad argues some were thrown out unfairly and wants to know how close he really came.

He has faced criticism in the past for controversial statements, including social media posts about wishing for the death of President Donald Trump.

For now, the Elections Commission is moving ahead with finalizing the ballot.

And tourism is booming across Wisconsin, hitting a record $27 billion in economic impact in 2025.

Recent numbers show growth in every corner of the state.

Officials say Southeast Wisconsin played a key role, with all seven counties seeing gains.

Milwaukee County alone contributed 4.4 billion, while the city drew more than 22 million visitors.

State leaders say the industry supports jobs and local businesses statewide.

Total visits reached nearly 118 million last year.
