Lisa,
Just look at the time of the eclipse (p. 5 of the almanac)
the time is GMT, of course,
and then on the daily page in the same almanach under
your latitude, right side of the odd page, where
it shows the moonrise and moonset on your latitude.
If the eclipse is within these limits, you can see it.
Then convert GMT to your local time and
be ready with your binoculars.

Now I am tired and it is late, so I
have to go to sleep, but if you don't
have your
almanach with you, or if my directions are confusing,
write me your
latitudde and longitude
and time zone, and I will figure out for you tomorrow morning.
(say at 10 a.m. my local time when I usually first check my e-mail:-)
There will be still plenty of time to the eclipse.

Alex.
