Make sure you are in an unobstructed area away from lights for the best viewing conditions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Meteors come from leftover comet particles and bits from asteroids. When Earth passes through the leftover comet particles and bits, they create the colorful streaks in the sky! <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Right now, our forecast is good for viewing. High pressure will be in control, which means we will be dry. There will be a few clouds around, but the sky should be mostly clear to partly cloudy. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The next meteor shower is the Ursids meteor shower, which peaks later this month on Dec. 22. <\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2025 by WJXT News4JAX &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Make sure to look up in the sky this weekend!
