(meteorobs) Pre-peak Perseid rates?

[josephasmus at cox.net]

Hi there,

We here in San Diego, California are greatly anticipating next Sunday night and the peak of the Perseids.  However, a few friends of mine will be unable to take work off the following Monday, so a question has been posed to me... which I pass along to this forum...

Under excellent Lm 6.0 skies, what should one expect to see on Saturday night, which is ~24 hours before the predicted peak?  

Thanks in advance to any and all responders...

Cheers,

Joseph
