Chicago Issues Beach Hazard Advisory

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Chicago's Lake Michigan beach visitors are being told to stay out of the water.

It has nothing to do with un-summery conditions--it was in the low 60s around midday at the lakefront.

Even if swimmers were tough enough to endure the cold temperatures, officials say rough surf could pose a danger.

Strong northeast winds--with gusts of 25 miles per hour--could create three to five foot waves.

Dangerous rip currents are also possible.

The Beach Hazard Advisory is in effect until 4 a.m. on Friday.
