I'm keen to know too ... it seems to be clearing off here. Radiant rises 
around 23:00 MST (06h UT) and I'd like to time my trip to where it can do 
the most good.

Anthony,

What source are you referring to re/ a small outburst on the 19th? I did 
note Bob Lunsford's weekly article referenced maximum activity on the 19th, 
but I haven't seen that reference elsewhere and figured maybe it was just a 
typo. Vaubaillion's 21:38 UT prediction is hopefully underway as I am typing 
this e-mail.

Reason to hope for a flurry of LEOs for the 18/19 overnight here in USA?

I believe another small outburst is possible tonight, as well. It will be
cold out, but I will be watching in the tiny hours of the morning here on 
the
east coast of USA

Here in Edmonton the weather has been entirely cloudy with problematic
highway conditions between here and clear skies. So I decided to live to
delight in another day. :)

By far the highlight of this Leonid season has therefore been reading the
reports of the outburst. My hearty congratulations to both observers and
theorists -- this is how science is _supposed_ to work!
