For those who missed the rare hybrid solar eclipse Wednesday night, there’s still time to see some amazing sky action this month.

One of the oldest-known meteor showers, the Lyrid shows up reliably every April when the Earth barges through a debris field left by a comet in 1861. Tiny particulates, the size of a piece of sand, heat up as they are met by friction from the Earth’s atmosphere and then begin to light up, creating a meteor. Bright meteors — and the occasional fireball — caused by debris explosions, move quickly through the sky and leave without a trace, or a trail.

For best viewing, Rice suggests watching the sunset toward the western sky, waiting until dark, and then turning around to the northeastern sky to look for meteors. The meteors will be flying up from the horizon, Rice said. By Saturday night, the same low-pressure system and cold front over the eastern United States is expected to work into northern Michigan and southeastern Ontario. Clearing skies will spread over much of the Southeast, the Mid-Atlantic, Pennsylvania, New York State and the Midwest. The system will still be hung up around New England with persistent overcast.

Central and Southern California and the Desert Southwest look to be mostly clear except for isolated patchy high clouds. An approaching low pressure system is expected to spread clouds over the Pacific Northwest.
