"Launch time: 1740 GMT (1:40 p.m. EDT)
Launch site: Pad 0A, Wallops Island, Virginia"

"The Orbital Sciences Antares rocket will launch the third Cygnus cargo freighter on the second operational flight to the International Space Station. The mission is known as Orb-2. Orbital Sciences is developing the Cygnus spacecraft to deliver supplies to the space station."

I have never seen a daylight launch from Wallops Island, but the sun should be highlighting it and have seen a past evening launch. I know where to start looking if we have clear skies.
