Launch trajectory is key for our viewing from here. If the launch is toward the east or south we don't see much, but a night-time launch toward the northeast can be really cool.
This website will have a trajectory map available a few days before most major launches.
Flight Club In the upper right of the home page you'll see a link >>LAUNCH DATA<<. Poke around in there and you'll find a zoomable map showing the estimated trajectory for the launch.
From that site it looks like SpaceX "Crew 2" scheduled for the 22nd at 6:11am EDT will launch toward the northeast and might make a really nice show if the weather's clear enough.
