Scattered storm chances throughout the day for Chicago area on Monday

CHICAGO (CBS) — A cold front stretches across the region, allowing for a storm threat through Tuesday morning. Storms this evening may turn severe with damaging winds and hail.

Overnight into Tuesday morning, more storms are expected, mainly north of I-80.

On Tuesday, temperatures will be much cooler behind the front north of I-80, with highs only in the mid-70s. Areas south of I-80 will remain hot and humid, with highs in the 80s to near 90.

Dangerous swimming conditions are expected at Lake Michigan beaches Tuesday through Wednesday due to high waves from strong northerly winds behind the front.

Active weather continues through midday Tuesday, and then we will enjoy an extended period of dry, cooler conditions.

High temperatures will remain cooler than average this coming weekend, and the Chicago Air and Water Show will have dry, pleasant weather.
