Look in the SE sky best early AM but some between 12-6AM (maybe dozen's per hour). Some clouds moving through but broken sky.

Thansk for the update - this should be cool. Three or four years ago was on the beach when this was going on, it was a great show.

i'll set the alarm - thanks for the literal heads up

I didnt know what was causing them until i read this thread but i saw a ton the last 4 nights.

There are meteors every night to varying degrees. When they are known to come from a specific source, like Halley's Comet, they should cluster/peak on a given night (plus or minus a night). I looked out early the morning in question and it was cloudy.
