Sorry but tonight the 21st will be good as well to view, The Earth will travel in to a spot that we will be able to see about ten meteors per hour so get out of the house with a chair and hopefully you will have clear skies.

The Lyrid meteor shower occurs every year in mid-April when particles shed from Comet 1861 G1 Thatcher. According to the American Meteor Society, the comet last passed through the inner solar system in 1861, but with an estimated orbit of 415 years, it won't be back anytime soon.
 

I recall, around the late 80's, sitting alone in our minivan in the driveway around 3 a.m., watching a fantastic meteor shower. Pretty sure it was Perseid's.
