The annual Perseid meteor shower began on July 17th and will continue through August 24th, but the peak viewing times will be the overnight hours of August 12-13 (Wednesday-Thursday) in what promises to be a good show. This year’s peak viewing will come at a perfect time when the moon is “new” meaning there will be zero moonlight to wash out the view. As a result, up to 100 meteors may be seen per hour under dark skies and in a viewing spot away from city light. Of course, all success for viewing will depend on the sky conditions during the peak time period. The Perseid meteor shower comes every August as the Earth passes through a cloud of dust that comes from Comet Swift-Tuttle as it approaches the sun.

An upper-level wave of energy passes through the area later today and tonight enhancing the chance of shower/thunderstorm activity and any storm that forms can be severe with damaging wind gusts and brief downpours are a possibility. Additional waves of energy will ride along a slow-moving frontal boundary zone on Tuesday and Wednesday keeping the chance alive for showers and thunderstorms. At the end of the week, the front should clear the area and cooler and drier air should push into the Mid-Atlantic region with more comfortable weather conditions likely lasting through the weekend.
