I do not understand the hate for the city of Milwaukee especially from people that live in Wisconsin. There is so much that is great about the city. Is it perfect? No. But how does disparaging Milwaukee help move the city forward?

This is awesome! This was taken yesterday looking up at US Bank building in Milwaukee. Either the fog is not forming along the building because it is warmer or there is just enough wind to create the gap. Either way, I think itās an amazing picture. Pic: Linda Lipin

Hear me out on this. Marc Lasry is set to make about 800 million after he sells his 25% share of the Bucks. The public portion of Fiserv was 250 million. I think it is fair to ask Lasry for 25% of the 250 million. That would equal 62.5 million back to Wisconsin taxpayers.

THIS IS REAL! NOT FAKE NEWS! There are actually flamingos in Port Washington right now. Appropriately, they are on South Beach.

Iām so jealous of the people that got to witness this from this morning. This is rare. A double solar halo, an upper tangent arc, two sun dogs, and a solar pillar. Thanks to Yvonne Lauer of Waterford for the pic.

If they are not playing the All Star game in Atlanta this year and they are honoring Hank Aaron, the only logical place to bring the All Star game is Milwaukee.

I did not go to @MarquetteU and I did not go to @UWMadison. (I probably was not smart enough to get into either.) No matter where you went to school you should be cheering for Marquette. They are so much fun to watch!

Wow. Almost 500,000 views. You never know what will strike a nerve. My wish is that we would treat all people and places equally. The urban vs. rural fight is not moving our state forward. When Milwaukee, Manitowoc, Mequon, Mosinee, and Minocqua work together, we all win!

Unless you can prove to me that you predicted the #Packers would pick a QB and RB with their first two selections, you can no longer make fun of me when I miss a forecast.

Things Iāve learned in 25 years here:
1) These storms rarely behave how you think they will. Get ready for a surprise.
2) You may he seeing some crazy snow numbers on social media. (Please know a storm that brings more than 12ā of snow here is very rare.)
3) Buy beer now.

What happened last night in Milwaukee was horrible. Iām as sickened and horrified as all of you. But we can not let violence define our great city. I love Milwaukee. I will always love Milwaukee. Let us come together. Black. White. Brown. All.

I used to be fascinated by politics. I honestly thought about getting into politics not that long ago. Now all I see is the nonsense, bickering, hate, dishonesty, and lack of decency. It's disgusting. Be better. I'm Mark Baden and I approve this message.

Colonoscopy. No one wants to do it, but it is necessary. (Especially with family history.) Iām not going to lie. Itās not fun. The prep is the worst part. The procedure is not a big deal. If you are 45 or older, get it done.

So Wisconsin has a 7 billion dollar surplus. The Milwaukee area accounts for about 33% of the entire state's GDP. That would equate to 2.31 billion dollars. How about we get to decide how that money gets spent. Where would you like to see that money go?

You know what I would like to see? Our Governor, Republican leaders of the assembly and senate, the attorney general, Milwaukee's mayor, police chief and sheriff all come together to talk about solutions to crime in the city. Is that too much to ask?

Lots of questions about the smoke. My perspective:
1) Wildfires are natural. They have occurred for thousands of years. Fires are needed to have healthy forests.
2) The smoke is bad, but you are not going to walk outside and keel over after a few breaths. Limit your exposure.

First thing my wife said to me this morning:
Her: Can you believe itās been 21 years?
Me: Yes, because this is our 22nd anniversary
I think itās a good sign that youāve been married so many years you start to lose count.

If wearing a mask could help save the life of your mom or grandmother or keep them from getting sick, wouldn't you want to do that? Until we get a vaccine, please pretend that every person you have contact with is your mom or grandma.

People sure are angry these days. I just had a "gentleman" yell at me over the phone because I used the term "pneumonia front". He said pneumonia is an infection in the lungs. Then he hung up. I bet he is fun at parties.

On this date in 1997, I was so fortunate to become chief meteorologist at WISN-12. I was a cocky kid that had no business getting such a great job. I hope I have grown more humble with age and please know I will work hard every day to earn your trust. Thank you, SE Wisconsin!

I'm very excited to announce our newest meteorologist to the Weather Watch 12 team. Please welcome Daji Aswad. Daji has been working for AccuWeather for the past 5 years and we can't wait for her to arrive late this month. Please give her a warm Milwaukee welcome. @Daji_aswad_wx

Milwaukee has a way of pulling you in. It's about quality of life. It is about family. I love that Giannis has found his happiness here. We are fortunate in so many ways. Is Milwaukee perfect? No. But just like the @Bucks, I believe our best days are still to come.
āEarlier I said it wouldnāt make sense for me to sign it, but I had a conversation with my familyā¦you donāt know what tomorrow holdsā - Giannis on *the decision* #WISN12

I know many of you are enjoying the very mild winter, but Wisconsin needs cold to stay Wisconsin. If we don't get our typical cold winters, our ecosystem will change drastically. I don't want to have the nasty critters of the south. Especially snakes, scorpions, and spiders.

This is a massive investment. I'm not sure people really understand what a huge deal this is.
Happening now: Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan is in Milwaukee this morning to announce the largest cleanup project for Lake Michigan ā a part of the EPAās Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
Detail on the project coming up on @WISN12News at 11am.

Congratulations, Milwaukee. Not just to the Bucks, but to you as a city. During this Bucks run to the championship it has been great to witness this city come alive. To see old and young, rich and poor, black and white, collectively cheering on our team. Letās keep it going!

I know many of you think what is happening in the United States is a massive overreaction. Officials are trying to keep our country from becoming what has happened in Italy. They are trying to save lives. I know we will be inconvenienced, but think of the bigger picture. #COVID19
