Following days of clouds, extreme humidity and heavy rain, Chicago's Tuesday forecast is calling for pleasant temperatures, a lower dew point and sunny skies.
According to NBC 5 meteorologist Alicia Roman, Tuesday is expected to see a high temperature of 76 degrees. According to Storm Team 5, that's slightly below average for this time of year.
In addition to cooler temperatures, humidity levels will be significantly lower, resting in the "comfortable" or "mild" category -- three steps down from the "extreme" category that Monday saw.
While Tuesday's weather is predicted to be clear and comfortable, the National Weather Service has issued a high swim risk at Lake Michigan beaches in Northeastern Illinois in Lake and Cook counties, and parts of Northwest Indiana.
