The National Weather Service issued warnings for Chicagoans and Labor Day vacationers that on the final day for the city's swimming and beach season, the water may not be the best place to vacation.

The weather service issued a hazardous beach statement late Sunday that expires early Tuesday evening after they say dangerous swimming conditions, with high winds and waves and strong rip and structural currents, could be seen at the city's lakefront.
