Chicago, IL – The National Weather Service (NWS) in Chicago has issued a warning about hazardous swimming conditions on Lake Michigan that will persist through Tuesday. While the upcoming week is expected to be quiet and comfortable, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to low 80s, Lake Michigan’s waters will remain treacherous.
According to the NWS, the warning comes after isolated showers moved through the region earlier today, leaving behind breezy conditions. These winds are expected to create strong currents and high waves, making swimming particularly dangerous. The forecast indicates that these conditions will last until at least Tuesday, affecting popular beaches along Lake Michigan.
Beachgoers are advised to exercise caution and avoid swimming in the lake until conditions improve. Lifeguards and local authorities will be monitoring the situation closely, but the best way to stay safe is to heed the warnings and stay out of the water.
For those planning to visit the beaches, NWS advises checking local updates and weather reports. While the weather will be pleasant, safety should remain a top priority for all Chicago residents and visitors.
