Sky and Telescope has good information too. Watching Comet Tempel 1 — and Deep Impact

Here's a hemispherical map and your location looks pretty close. Of course, poor visibility towards the horizon where you're at.

I am going to be at a dark site, in the Ocala National Forest that night, however, Spica sets at about 0140 EDT 4 July, and observation is going to be right ON the horizon. It will be due west, over the dark part of the forest.

I won't be able to see it except on TV. I will bring a scope or two out though.
