LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas — Many Arkansans have rejoiced in the “fake spring” pattern we've seen over the past few weeks.
Unfortunately, good things can't last forever, and another round of wintry rain is becoming increasingly likely in parts of the state. The National Weather Service in North Little Rock has issued a winter storm warning and winter weather advisory for northwest and north-central Arkansas.
This warning area does not include the Little Rock metro.
