Looks like tonight is optimal for seeing Neowise - from Cliff Mass:
Tonight will be Optimal for Viewing Comet Neowise
If you want to see one of the brightest comets of the past several decades, the viewing will be excellent tonight over the Northwest for comet Neowise.
Our skies are clear or nearly clear today over nearly all the land area of the region, with the exception of the coast. There is no wildfire smoke to contend with.
And the latest model cloud forecast suggests that excellent viewing conditions without clouds will continue for most areas tonight (see forecast for 11 PM tonight below). Only the coast will be an issue.
It will be getting closer to the Earth and therefore larger but it will also be going farther from the sun and therefore fainter. Going to stay up until about 11PM to look. Skies look nice and clear so far. Staying up until 11PM - getting the camera and tripod ready.
