Last time i saw it it looked like a fairly bright star moving reasonable quickly and should be visible for around 4 minutes tonight. If you have an Ipad or smartphone you can use an App like Star walk or Google sky to locate it before it becomes visible so you know where it will pop up on the horizon.

Download Satellite AR app to your phone will show you exactly where it is as with any other visible satellites. Combine with google sky and you've got a big night looking at the sky .
