BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) -

Tonight will be the last chance in 2012 to catch a meteor shower. The Geminid meteor shower peaks around midnight Thursday evening.

With clouds shifting east and a new moon arriving, viewing conditions should be ideal. The meteor shower will start before midnight and continue through the early morning hours.

In some cases, the Geminid shower has produced over 100 meteors.
