From 1am to dawn?!?! It would be great if just once they schedule these for a more reasonable time so that us non-vampire types could enjoy the show.

Clouds, rain, and snow here overnight. Looks like I'll miss this one.

I am assuming you are on Central being near Chicago. For you, there will be some from 1-3AM, but after 3AM will be when you will have better luck. That is the time we cross the band in our hemisphere. There are supposed to be a couple dozen an hour. People over in Australia, China, etc. are supposed to get two bands at the same time and can expect hundreds an hour.
