The leonids peak around 10.45 pm on 18th November in your area. However, the radiant of the leonids will rise later. So you can try observing after midnight. Sit facing east. You will soon be rewarded with a few meteors. The expected ZHR is 100 but by the time they reach your area, it could be lesser. You will be lucky enough with a ZHR of 30 meteors.
The frequency will increase around daybreak.
Wish you all the best.

Tonight marks the return of the Leonid meteor shower. The heavenly show is expected to peak at 1:40 a.m. ET on Friday for sky-watchers in North America. The spectacle looks to be the second-to-last chance to see the shower in this century.
The Leonids, which recur each November, had a spectacular run between 1999 and 2002. The meteor showers of those years approached the intensity of "meteor storms," a threshold generally marked when viewers can see a thousand meteors an hour.
