About 5:00 PM central time, which is before Moon rise. You will only see the last partial stages from the central time zone. You need to be in Europe or Africa to see the whole eclipse.

Hi CB!
I'm afraid you probably won't see any of the Total eclipse. You may, however, catch the partial eclipse afterward.
This eclipse will already have started well before the moon rises in the Central Time Zone. The total phase ends at 5:58 p.m. Central Time. But at Chicago, for instance, the moon doesn't even get above the horizon until 5:39 p.m., and by the time it rises high enough to clear the buildings (unless you're looking right out across the Lake) and the sky darkens enough to see the eclipsed disc, you'll only have time to catch the very end of the Total phase.
But don't give up. You still have another 1 hour 14 minutes of partial eclipse as the moon retreats out of the earth's shadow, ending at 7:12 Central. You should have plenty of time to see that. All you'll need are clear skies!

Here in the United States, you will have to be in the eastern half of the country to witness totality. At the end of the day on Saturday, go outside and face east. As the sun sets behind your back, a red moon will arise before your eyes. Maximum eclipse is at 6:21 pm EST. Your 5:21.

Early evening and it will only be visible in the Eastern and central time zones and the east side of the mountain zone.
