Another heavy round of rain is making its way toward Arkansas, according to forecasters.
Much like the end of February, the state is expected to receive several inches of rain over the next few days, said Heather Cross, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in North Little Rock.
Northern parts of the state could see 3 to 4 inches of rain today through Thursday, while central and southern portions of the state could see 4 to 7 inches during that time, Cross said.
Smaller chances of rain will linger during the day Friday.
Heavy rain in late February flooded rivers and even breached a levee in Lonoke County, flooding about 100 homes.
The National Weather Service issued a pre-emptive flood warning Monday along the Ouachita River in Camden, affecting Ouachita and Calhoun counties.
The river was at about 22 feet Monday afternoon, but forecasters expect it to reach 30 feet by the end of Friday. Flood stage is 26 feet.

The agency also issued a statement Monday regarding an ongoing flood warning for the Ouachita River at Thatcher, which is downstream in Calhoun County.
The river was at 83.8 feet Monday morning and declining, the statement said, but heavy rain will bring the river back up to 84 feet, which is considered minor flooding.
Flood stage is 79 feet at that part of the river.
