Hot conditions have gripped the Twin Lakes area for the better part of the last month with daily highs rarely seeing a break from mid-to-upper 90’s and the last significant rainfall being recorded on July 15. As high temperatures seem to hold strong, the National Weather Service (NWS) issued a heat advisory beginning Sunday at noon and lasting until Monday night at 8.
KTLO, Classic Hits and the Boot, the official reporting station for the National Weather Service in Mountain Home, reached out to NWS Meteorologist Willie Gilmore to see what this weather pattern will look like as we head into next week.
Gilmore says right now we just have to make it through the next few days.

As we move into the middle of the week, we will see a bit of relief as a small cold front moves into the area. Gilmore says that while we won’t see the temperatures drop too much, we will start to see some rain chances increase.

With a note of optimism, Gilmore says the upper ridge of high pressure causing this heat appears to be moving out of the area.

With the heat advisory in effect, the NWS urges listeners to drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun and check up on relatives and neighbors. Stay tuned to KTLO, Classic Hits and the Boot to keep up-to-date on weather conditions as they develop.
