This should be very cool to see if you are going to be near the Houston area:
Three man-made objects floating along in space will pass directly over Houston tonight.
The Space Shuttle, the International Space Station and the Russian supply ship Progress will appear, in that order, one after the other. Look up toward the northwest at 9:12 PM. The three bright objects will move almost directly overhead and then fade away in the southeast at 9:18 PM.
While we have some clouds over Houston right now, these clouds should begin to dissipate by early evening. The sunset is at 8:17 PM so the sky should be dark, providing a perfect view of the triple pass.
