From spaceweather.com:
PERSEID METEORS: The 2004 Perseid meteor shower is underway. Every hour, 10+ meteors are streaking from the constellation Perseus, and that number will increase 3- to 6-fold when the shower peaks on August 11th and 12th. Look for Perseid Earthgrazers when the sun goes down on Wednesday, August 11th. Then, before dawn on Thursday, August 12th, go outside for the main event: as many as 60 meteors per hour.
From weather.gov:
Tonight: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could be severe, with damaging winds. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 70. Northeast wind between 10 and 15 mph.Thursday: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high around 88. North northeast wind between 5 and 10 mph.
Grr. I like thunderstorms, but the Perseids consistently kick ass.
Either way, it's kind of eerie and fun to listen to the meteors on radar.
