Florida Keys Flood Watch
Professional monitoring backed by environmental expertise you can trust
CHECK YOUR FLOOD RISKReal-Time Flood Monitoring
Live flood conditions, stream levels, and weather data for the Florida Keys
About This Tool
This map displays flood reports submitted by residents of Monroe County, which are monitored for accuracy by data scientists at Clearview Geographic. However, these submissions may not encompass all flood events within the region. Community-sourced data should be used for general awareness and planning purposes only.
Locations of road closures are obtained from the Florida Highway Patrol and FL 511. Reports of tornadoes, floods, flash floods, wind, and other storm events are authoritative sources from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Live tide gauges within the Florida Keys are also highlighted, detailing real-time flood stage monitors. Impervious surfaces, building footprints, and city/county boundaries can also be viewed. The data within this map is updated every 5 minutes.
