Full "Beaver" Moon and Leonid Meteor Shower this weekend

Mornin'!  It's 48° in Wildwood.  The sun's up but not shining as the cloud cover's pretty thick due to the rains.  It rained overnight and early this morning pretty hard. We currently have light showers.  The sky is brightening though.  Forecasters are saying a mix of clouds and sun today with a 20% chance of light showers off and on today.  Breezes are from the E-NE at 6-8mph.  Temps will just about tap 60° as it'll be on the mild side down the Shore.  A few things to note...today is the Full Beaver Moon so tides will be higher and it's the Leonid Meteor Shower show.  And, if the clouds cooperate, the East coast should see a terrific Meteor shower this weekend.  The Full Moon could provide a big, bright obstacle for viewing due to its brightness and size, but the meteors will be falling and should be visible from the midnight hour on to early morning. Happy viewing!  Happy Weekend!
