April 19 at 4:42pm for a second and a half along a very specific path
running from Sanford NE paralleling US-1 through downtown Raleigh
paralleling 401 and ending somewhere in Franklin County, the ISS will
pass in front of the sun:

If you would like get out and photograph this be sure to recheck the
path predictions before driving out anywhere.  This is based on week+
old data and the orbit of the ISS can and does change.
