I rarely watch the local news so don't know if this bit of info is common knowledge, but tonight (Saturday 3/3) the full moon will rise already in a lunar eclipse, which is a rare event. Best viewing times are between 6pm and 8pm provided the clouds stay away. Read more about it at NASA:
"In the USA, the eclipse will already be underway when the moon rises on Saturday evening. Observing tip: Find a place with a clear view of the eastern horizon and station yourself there at sunset. As the sun goes down behind you, a red moon will rise before your eyes."
