Chicago will be feeling the effects of a cold front for the next few days, National Weather Service officials say.The city will see lows dip into the low 40s with highs in the mid 60s until at least Thursday, when temperatures will start to pick up again, according to NWS forecaster Lee Carlaw. Monday will see temperatures up to 66 and as low as 44; Tuesday's high will be 52 and the low 41.Areas outside the city, specifically northwest Illinois, could see temperatures in the high 30s and may experience the first frost of the season.

Chicago’s shore will see waves closer to 11 feet before they fall off to 5 feet Monday night.The conditions could also be ripe for the creation of waterspouts due to lots of wind shear, which may be a cool visual spectacle but pose little danger to those on land, Carlaw said.“Those generally don’t pose a risk of moving to shore, but it’s something we keep an eye on,” Carlaw said.
