"This shower is usually a sleeper, producing only a handful of languid meteors per hour in most years. But watch out if the Dragon awakes! In rare instances, fiery Draco has been known to spew forth many hundreds of meteors in a single hour. That possibility keeps many skywatchers outside - even in moonlight - during this shower."
"The marine layer looks a little bit shallower tonight and tomorrow night, which should keep more overcast conditions directly confined to the coastline," Kennedy said.
"Though your best bet for viewing meteors is driving off into areas with darker skies, catching them closer to home isn't entirely hopeless. However, not all Bay Area night skies are created equal."
"The Draconids are about to leave our skies, but they do set the stage for a busy meteor season through the end of 2024."
