WEEKEND SNAPSHOT
Sweltering but stable. Expect highs of 89°F with high humidity and a 30% chance of isolated 4 PM thunderstorms.
Ongoing Brightline frequency increases may cause longer gate down-times at Flagler Village crossings.
⚡ If You Only Do One Thing
Flagler Village Art Walk
Saturday, 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM
"It avoids the post-holiday beach crowds while offering the highest density of local culture, food trucks, and open-studio access in the city."
PRO TIP: Park at the Brightline Fort Lauderdale station garage and walk three blocks north to avoid the gridlock on NW 1st Ave.
