The National Weather Service in Duluth MN has extended the
* Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory for...
Ashland County in northwest Wisconsin...
this includes the city of Ashland...
Bayfield County in northwest Wisconsin...
Iron County in northwest Wisconsin...
* until 515 PM CDT Wednesday
* at 334 PM CDT... a band of rain showers that fell over northwest
Wisconsin today added another half to 1 inch or so of rain to an
area that already had saturated soils from recent heavy rains the
past several days. Much of Bayfield... Ashland... and Iron counties
have received about 4 to 7 inches of rainfall since last Friday. The
heavy rainfall has caused streams and small rivers across the area
to rise. Some roads are closed across the area due to minor flooding.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to travel across
flooded roads. Find alternate routes. It takes only a few inches of
swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles away.
To report flooding... have the nearest law enforcement agency relay
your report to the National Weather Service forecast office.
