CHICAGO - Monday was the third 90-degree day in a row for the Chicago area. Some relief is in sight, but if you're hoping for a big cool-down, that isn't coming any time soon.

A line of scattered showers and storms will approach the area tonight, possibly bringing gusty winds with any storms that are on the stronger side. The Storm Prediction Center has the northwestern sections of Chicagoland in a Marginal Risk, which is a level 1 of 5.
