Although winter has just begun for the Northern Hemisphere, the Quadrantids is the season’s final meteor shower before there is a long spell where no major meteor showers take place.

“The Quadrantids have the potential to be the strongest shower of the year but usually fall short due to the short length of maximum activity (6 hours) and the poor weather experienced during early January,” the American Meteor Society (AMS) said.

There is the chance for as many as 100 meteors per hour during this brief window on Saturday night into Sunday morning, but with a nearly full moon shining brightly throughout the weekend, onlookers are likely to count closer to 25 meteors per hour during this year’s showing of the Quadrantids.

Of course it will be too cloudy for us to see it and it will be daylight. It's been cloudy for all of the meteor showers this past couple months/ Bummer.
