Evidently is getting the full light from the sun right now from Earth's perspective which makes Saturn visible from Earth in certain areas of the US.
Also if you have a good mirror you can see Uranus too. :D

So this weekend, when the sun sets in the west, Saturn will rise in the east, and when the sun is farthest below the horizon, Saturn will reach its highest point above the horizon.
This weekend, Saturn will also be at its closest point to Earth, so it will appear slightly bigger and brighter than usual.
