This includes the Tribal Lands of the Bad River Reservation, the Red Cliff Band and the northwestern county of the Lac du Flambeau Band. Other locations including Madeline Island and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. * WHEN...From this evening through Wednesday morning. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Around 1 to 3 inches of rain is expected to fall over several inches of lingering snowpack along the South Shore of Lake Superior. Areas of minor flooding are possible in the Bayfield Peninsula and east over northern Ashland and Iron counties. - Flood safety information can be found at www.weather.gov/safety/flood.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
