How this forecast works
FloodRoute combines NOAA tide predictions for the Lake Wyman, ICWW station with the elevation of every road segment in Boca Raton. When the predicted water level rises above a road's lowest point, it's marked — amber for possible, orange for likely, red for severe. The NOAA Lake Worth Pier gauge shows how far the water is actually running above or below the tide tables; that difference is carried into the forecast and fades over the following days. Recent rain raises the next 24 hours. After each high tide, streets stay marked a little longer, because water drains off the road more slowly than the tide falls.
Tide source: NOAA station 8722802 (Lake Wyman, ICWW). Updated 1:51 PM.

How high does the tide have to be to flood roads in Boca Raton?
Roads start to flood when the water at NOAA's Lake Wyman, ICWW station reaches about 3.9 ft (MLLW). Higher tides flood more streets, for longer. FloodRoute marks flooding as possible when the water is less than 0.5 ft above a road's low point, likely up to 1.5 ft, and severe at 1.5 ft or more.
When is the next king tide in Boca Raton?
Tue, Nov 24 at 9:28 AM EST, with water expected around 3.9 ft at NOAA's Lake Wyman, ICWW station. King tides are the year's highest predicted tides: FloodRoute uses the top 5% of high tides in NOAA's tide tables, 2.8 ft or more at NOAA's Lake Wyman, ICWW station, about 18 days a year. Water often runs above the tide tables for weeks at a time (warm water, El Niño, storms). FloodRoute's flood forecasts include that, but it doesn't turn an ordinary high tide into a king tide.

How accurate is the Boca Raton flood forecast?
It's an estimate built from NOAA tide predictions for the Lake Wyman, ICWW station, corrected with live readings from the NOAA Lake Worth Pier gauge, and the measured elevation of every road segment in Boca Raton. Boca Raton is in Beta: community reports are still confirming which streets flood. Wind, storm surge and blocked drains can change what actually floods. Never drive through flood water.
