The Leonid meteor shower is expected to peak at 6 p.m. CT. ABC7 Meteorologist Larry Mowry discusses viewing conditions in the Chicago area.Known as some of the fastest meteors around, the Leonids blaze across the night sky annually during the month of November. Historically, they are considered to be one of the most impressive meteor showers on record, largely due to the meteor storm they form roughly every 33 years, causing thousands of meteors to rain down in the night sky.
The brighter meteors often leave behind glowing trails and can even leave smoke streaks in the sky for up to several minutes, Lunsford said. The forecast for Thursday evening, around the time of this peak, will be mostly clear skies on the United States' coasts with a 0% chance of rain, according to Allison Chinchar, CNN meteorologist. Those in the Midwest will have less favorable conditions for sky watching, with overcast skies and a 30% chance of snow.
