The peak isn't for a couple of weeks, but don't be surprised if you see a few shooting stars over Benicia before that. For meteor-viewing conditions this week, the forecast from the National Weather Service San Francisco says there will be mostly clear skies Monday night over Benicia, followed by increasing clouds Tuesday night and mostly clear skies Wednesday through Sunday nights.
