The doldrums of March continue, at least with regards to meteor activity. At least the weather has been good though San Diego experienced some fog last night. One plus from the past few weeks, a good fraction of the detected activity has been from the broad antihelion region in Virgo. The MetRec software is only assigning 1 or 2 meteors a night to this source. If we assume the antihelion region is a bit larger than 1/4 to 1/3 of the meteors detected at Tucson are from this source region. This means that a few more meteors than usual are visible before midnight.
