A fire broke out November 9 at Backyard, an outdoor venue in downtown Fort Lauderdale and spread to the bar next door, officials said. Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue says crews found heavy smoke and fire at 100 SW Third Avenue just before three. Here's Chloe with your forecast. Mostly sunny, with a high near 84 and a slight chance of showers between two and four this afternoon, National Weather Service says. East winds six to 9 miles per hour. Here's Rosa with our next story. On the local arts stage, Hamilton is scheduled today at 7:30 in the evening at the Au-Rene Theater at The Broward Center for the Performing Arts. If you're heading out, the sixth Annual Riverwalk International Food Festival will be at Esplanade Park on Saturday, November 14 at noon. I'm Rosa, goodnight.
