More on the Meteor shower

There could be a meteor storm tonight, “could be” being the key words here. There are a lot of “if”s involved in the prediction, and the Montreal area will cloud over during the night ( Well, of course it will!! )

However, even from the city, you might catch a few meteors from this rare shower before the rain starts.

The storm, if it happens. will peak at 11:50 pm ET, when Earth is entering the meteor stream. The stream is very narrow, so the viewing window is very tight.  Environment Canada is predicting rain for the Montreal area around midnight. Of course. I have yet to see a meteor storm, it ALWAYS clouds over even when the day starts out clear and sunny.
