The Cats will host their Championship Celebration at Fort Lauderdale Beach, beginning with a parade along State Road A1A .

A1A will shut from Riomar to SE 5th for the parade no later than 9 a.m. Sunday.

If you don't want to worry about parking your car, you can use Broward County Transit as its services will be free in honor of the Panthers' win, CEO Coree Cuff Lonergan said.

Fort Lauderdale is also urging revelers to take a water taxi, which they're offering at a $15 fare for pickup at three spots: the Riverside Hotel, the Hilton Marina on 17th and the Galleria Mall.

Weather concerns for Panthers parade

An ocean breeze returns to South Florida over the weekend, which typically will keep showers over the east coast in the morning before they push inland as stronger storms in the afternoon. There is a chance a few showers will be near the coast in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday morning for the parade.

By Sunday morning, there will be a light east breeze with temperatures in the middle to upper 80s by noon. A few showers will be moving through the area, but by late morning, they will continue to develop inland and move away from the coast. Expect bright sunshine along the coast with highs near or just below 90 degrees throughout the afternoon.

It will be a warm and muggy afternoon but showers and storms should be confined to the interior by then.
