Last Chance To See The Perseids Tonight

If you're a fan of meteor showers, Tuesday night is your last chance to catch a glimpse of the biggest meteor shower of the year: The Perseids.

Fortunately, the weather will cooperate for seeing any meteors. Tuesday night's forecast is calling for mostly clear skies. Grab a jacket, though. Overnight lows are expected to dip into the low 50s (and maybe even the upper 40s in a few rural spots!).


In terms of the timing, meteors should be visible anytime between midnight and dawn. The peak for seeing meteor activity will be 3:00-4:00am. Remember, artificial light (a.k.a. city lights) will make it more difficult to see the Perseids. The darker the sky, the better! -BA
