1. Not visible here;

lots of clouds. And forecast is for clouds tonight and Thursday morning too.

2. And, as always,

we have overcast skies and storms. I don't think that the weather has been good here for a meteor shower for years...and this year was so dry and sunny all summer.

3. Which direction in sky and time? All night?

We have clear skies here in Texas - would love to see some meteors. The last great show of meteors which I saw was in 1956! We lay out on the lawn and watched for a long time - it was magical.

5. Look to the NE.

The radiation point is near Perseus and Cassiopeia, but they can appear anywhere.
11pm to 5am. The moon is a little bright this year, so that is not helping.

I need to go about 90 miles away from Seattle to get dark sky, but I will see what I can get tonight.

4. And the Cloudy Skies return to Cleveland just in time to cover them up

It has been a dry summer and relatively sunny here this year which is quite unusual for Cleveland.
