Grills Sparks Roof Fire | Police Fatally Shoot Man: IL In Brief

ACROSS ILLINOIS — As the weekend wraps up, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed over the long holiday weekend.

Summer is officially in full swing in the Chicago area, and so far, the weather has been cooperating. The Memorial Day weekend served up sunshine and warm weather and it looks like hot temperatures are in the forecast as we head back into the work week.

Highs in the upper 80s and 90s are likely for the Chicago area for the coming days. A few isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms are possible Wednesday through Friday, according to the National Weather Service.

For those looking to get a break from the heat, we've got a list of our favorite beaches in the Chicago area— many of which have twilight discounts for those able to stop out after work for a refreshing dip and some fun in the sand.

But before we get back to work, here are some of the stories you may have missed over the weekend:
