Heads Up! The Leonids Are Coming

The annual Leonid meteor shower should be visible between midnight tonight and dawn tomorrow, according to published reports.

The National Weather Service is calling for partly cloudy skies and a nighttime low of 36.

The meteors are particles from comet Tempel-Tuttle but are called "Leonids" because they appear to come from the direction of the constellation Leo.
