A winter weather advisory is in effect for more than a dozen counties in northern Arkansas for freezing rain that may cause slick conditions, the National Weather Service said.
The advisory, which covers the state's two northern-most rows of counties, is set to continue through midnight. At 10 a.m., freezing rain was falling in Harrison and a mix of rain and freezing rain was reported in Mountain Home.
The weather service said rain will shift to freezing rain, causing light icing and "very slippery conditions," especially on elevated roads and bridges. Less than a tenth of an inch of ice is expected.
"Please use caution when driving in the warned area, as road conditions may become hazardous," the advisory states.
In central Arkansas, only rain is forecast.
