Tonight (Tuesday night) is the peak for the 2009 Perseid meteor shower. In a lot of years, viewing opportunities are limited by clouds, but we'll be mostly clear tonight. The biggest issues will be timing (the best viewing will come during the early morning predawn hours) and moonlight (a waning gibbous moon will likely "drown out" some of the more faint meteors).
If you're interested in checking them out, here's a link to the NASA page with viewing information.
