There will be a moon, but it will be near setting and shouldn't pose too much of a problem. But get away from city lights, streetlights, etc. The meteors will seem to come from the southeast; the radiant is in the constellation Leo. Here's a diagram for 3AM:
As you are at latitude 34 north, the constellations will be slightly farther north from your point of view. Don't stare right at the radiant; the view is better when you look 45 degrees away to see the long meteor trails. (45 degrees would be like turning south or east to watch).
