Get ready because it’s going to be another scorcher. Oak Lawn and the Chicago region are under a heat advisory with temperatures expected to soar above 100 degrees on Tuesday.

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory in effect from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday. Expect high temperatures around 100 degrees across Cook County on Tuesday afternoon. The heat index is expected to range between 100 and 100 degrees in the afternoon and early evening.

According to weather god, Tom Skilling, chief meteorologist for WGN, the summer of 2012 may be on track to set a new record of 90-degree plus days. The current record of 90-plus degree days stands at 47 set in 1988.

So far, 2012 has logged 30 days 90-degrees or more.

The summer’s drought across much of the United States is also ranked the most expansive since 1956, Skilling says.
