Whens the best time to see the meteor shower from central PA?

Question

Ive heard 1-2 am then I heard 4-5 am. Anyone know whens the best time I can see them from the Northeast US?

Answer 1

The ideal moment is about 3 hours - 1 hours before sunrise. At this moment, your location will be in traveling direction of Earth ("looking forward") and you will see many of them.  

Answer 2

From an hour after dark, to about an hour before sunrise.  Usually it's better after local midnight.  You should have good dark skies in central PA.  I saw three meteors from my light polluted front yard this past Saturday night - one was a Perseid.  If you miss out tonight due to weather, try tomorrow, through this weekend.
