Chicago Heads Into Third Straight Sweltering Day

(CBS) -- It hasn't been the worst heat wave ever, but Chicago area residents should brace for another humid day with temperatures reaching 90.

Air quality is also a concern for people with respiratory issues. An Air Quality Alert has been issued for the Chicago region.

Isolated storms are also a possibility, CBS 2 Meteorologist Ed Curran says.

Farther out, an excessive heat warning has been issued for areas outside the Chicago area, such as Kankakee, Grundy and La Salle counties.
