This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of north central
Illinois...northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  High Swim Risk Lake Michigan Beaches.

DISCUSSION...

Large waves continue to cause dangerous conditions near piers,
breakwalls, and in Lake Michigan.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

Monday through Friday...

  Limited Fire Weather Risk.

DISCUSSION...

An extended period of above average temperatures, no rain,
increasingly dormant vegetation, and very low afternoon relative
humidity is expected next week. This will create conditions
favorable for grass and brush fires to start. Strong winds are not
expected this week which will lessen the risk for rapid spread or
growth of fires.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  Spotter activation will not be necessary through tonight.
