I assume midnight would be the best time to look? What part of the sky?

Since it is in opposition it will be south at midnight. Probably a little east of south because of Daylight Saving Time.

The magnitude (brightness) of Mars tonight at midnight over the western US will -2.6. That’s pretty close to Jupiter at its brightest and THAT is bright!

Just wait an hour or two after sunset and look east.

It will be due south around 12-1am and in the west after 3am

You can’t miss it, Mars right now is brighter than Jupiter (Which is in the South at Sunset, with Saturn just to Jupiter’s left).
