It will peak Monday night, with perhaps some more Tuesday night. As always, there is a lead up of a few early arrivals going toward the peak night, and I have seen a few each night for the last 3 nights, including a very bright fireball a few minutes ago low in the NE sky-an area that is rare to see one because a distant town back lights that portion of the ky.
This may be a surprisingly good year for the unpredictable Draconids.
