There will be several opportunities to see the International Space Station this week. Tuesday evening is the next best opportunity to see it (unless you happen to be up very early Tuesday morning around 2:32 am or 4:07 am).

Tuesday evening, it will be visible from 8:47 pm to 8:53 pm. In this case, it will start low on the southwest horizon, and reach a maximum elevation from 50 to 80 degrees depending on the location, before disappearing off the northeast horizon. Look for a fast moving light, comparable in brightness to a bright star or planet, moving in a straight line (the speed will be much faster than an airplane). While it is visible with the naked eye, use of binoculars or a telescope may help reveal some of the structural details of the ISS.
