Reading the explanation of the 1998 fireball burst, it's pretty clear that there will not be a repeat performance this year.  However, note that the nodal passage (closest approach of Earth to the comet's orbit) occurs on November 17 at 13h UT (5am PST).  This might be a likely time for increased background activity to occur (20<ZHR<100?).
