1030 UT is 3:30 MST or local time in AZ. Check the following link for the 
prediction curves. You can select one for Phoenix. It looks like things 
start about 2:00 AM MST and peak at 3:30 AM MST.

This may be the last chance in our life time to see something like this. 
Let's hope for clear skies. I plan on watching from my cabin (7,500') on 
the east side. The idea is even though there will be a big moon, the high 
attitude will not have as much glow from it and on the east side I will 
be shielded somewhat from the moonlight. That's my idea any ways. I do 
know I will probably freeze my buttski off. :-)
