Well, I ignored Tom's advice and actually headed a bit further south of Tucson,
near Three Points. There was one stinkin' band of thick cirrus that interrupted
the very end of what I was able to see over Kitt Peak. Here's a link to my
favorite of what I was able to capture before that cloud band interrupted the
scene:

All-in-all a neat eclipse event.

The Clear Sky Chart transparency map has matched the cirrus entering southern
Arizona very well today. The forecast model shows the clouds creeping
northward through the night. It looks like it will be clear north of a line
through Phoenix. Southern Arizona should be under pretty thick cirrus, but it
might require a drive only to Black Canyon City or so to see the sunrise
eclipse.
