Usually the Leonids are a rather minor shower. However, this year there is a chance of increased activity according to one source.

Farther on in my calendar this entry appears:

The peak of the Leonid meteor shower takes place on the morning of November 18. The First Quarter Moon will have set by that time so the peak won’t be compromised by moonlight. There is the possibility of higher than normal activity for observers on the East Coast before midnight.
