Check the Hepburn maps. Tropospheric Ducting Forecast for VHF & UHF Radio & TV They are relatively easy to understand and are very accurate in predicting band openings.

This is sporadic E season.
May, June, July are especially great. Here is a map where you can view openings.

Right now the western USA is alive. Enjoy it!

Hepburn's maps are for troposperic propagation, NOT sporadic E skip (the kind that occurs on low band)
Sporadic E skip on low band usually occurs most often (in North America) before noon local time and around sunset local time from May through July and in December and January but it can occur at any time.
