Sorry for the bad English.

Two new discovered comets are interesting for meteor showers:

C/2013 K1 Christensen with a MOID of 0.0591669 AU, it's a periodic 
comet of around 80 years (a comet of halleid tipe) and it shall 
accross the node around 54 days before the Earth, probably exist a 
known meteor shower around 29 July with a very little ZHR linked at 
this comet. perharps in 2013, but it's very very improbable, it can 
occur an outburst.

C/2013 G5 Catalina, that has a period of more of 3 milion of years,
has a MOID of 0.0665776 AU, in that case the Earth shall be the
17 August at the node of the comet 24 day before the comet, too in 
this case it's possible that exist a meteor shower linked at this 
comet.

Best greetings.
Roberto Gorelli
