The peak of the Perseid meteor shower was last night but that doesn't mean you won't see any tonight. A meteor shower is caused when the Earth moves through the debris left over from an old comet. The debris field can take a couple of weeks to move through - the peak is just when we're in the middle of it. Try around midnight and later and look toward the Perseus constellation in the northeast.
I got clouded out in western Indiana last night just before 2:00 am so didn't get to see very many meteorites but some of the ones I did see were spectacular. Hope you have better luck tonight!
