Go to the link below -- it's called "Sky Tonight," and is run by Sky & Telescope magazine. You can enter your location and get lists and sky charts for variable stars, planets, nebulae, galaxies, etc. visible tonight from your location.
Keep looking up!

Our own sun is a variable star, although it's hardly noticeable. In fact all stars vary in energy output to one extent or another. A better example of a variable star is Polaris, also known as the North Star. You can see it at any time of year. The variability of Polaris occurs with a 3.97 day period and fluctuates by about a tenth.

There are thousands of variable stars around. You can try the two sites below but keep in mind, they don't blink like traffic lights. They usually vary over many hours to years and some of them only vary in brightness by a fraction of a percent.
