How this forecast works

FloodRoute combines NOAA tide predictions for the South Port Everglades station with the elevation of every road segment in Fort Lauderdale. 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 South Port Everglades 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 8722956 (South Port Everglades). Updated 1:52 AM.

How high does the tide have to be to flood roads in Fort Lauderdale?

How can I get flood alerts for Fort Lauderdale?

How accurate is the Fort Lauderdale flood forecast?

It's an estimate built from NOAA tide predictions for the South Port Everglades station, corrected with live readings from the NOAA South Port Everglades gauge, and the measured elevation of every road segment in Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale 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.
