AMS: Meteor Activity Outlook for January 18-24, 2014 – Saudi Arabia Large Bolide (3 Videos)
During this period the moon reaches its last quarter phase on Friday January 24th. At this time the moon will lie 90 degrees west of the sun and will rise near midnight local standard time (LST).
This weekend the waning gibbous moon will rise during the early evening and will remain in the sky the rest of the night This will produce a major obstacle to viewing meteors as the glare from the bright moon will obscure all but the brightest meteors.
The estimated total hourly meteor rates for evening observers this week is near 2 no matter your location. For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates should be near 10 for observers viewing from mid-northern latitudes and 8 for observers located at tropical southern latitudes.

Good article. A report on the just the facts and no erroneous claims.
BTW, AMS fireball meteor/bolide events are already up to 10.2 events/day for 2014. That surpasses the average for 2013, which was 9.7 events/day. I said at the beginning of the year that the rate would increase and it has. I’m projecting we’ll reach over 15 events/day by the end of the year and it could get much higher. We’ll have to wait and see.
