The skies are blue, the traffic is light, and the crowds are growing for the 2019 Fort Lauderdale Air Show.
The prime viewing area is along State Road A1A between Sunrise Boulevard and about Northeast 14th Court opposite Hugh Taylor Birch State Park.
However, the pool decks and balconies of hotels and condominiums that face the Atlantic Ocean are filling up, as well.
The aerial acrobatics run from noon to about 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
State Road A1A is closed to vehicular traffic between Sunrise Boulevard and Northeast 14th Court from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. May 4 and May 5, and expect traffic to move slower south of Sunrise as the pilots perform.
There are roughly 40 public parking lots, garages and metered spaces near the beach between Oakland Park Boulevard and Southeast 17th Street, at $1-$3 per hour. Or, avoid all that by parking at the Galleria Mall garage (2414 E. Sunrise Blvd.; $20 flat fee).
Uber, Lyft and other ride shares will pick up and drop off passengers at the intersection of Sunrise Boulevard and Northeast 25th Avenue, one block west of the drawbridge.
Biking? Park your wheels at the bike valet on the corner of Sunrise and A1A.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
