First the bad news: Although the transparency looks great, the Jet
Stream, currently running north-to-south, is *directly* overhead at the
moment; not a good thing for seeing. Still, the further south you are,
the better off you should be.
Now the good news: The Jet Stream is quickly moving to the east, and
should be centered over Nevada/Arizona by tomorrow morning, and centered
over Utah/New Mexico by Saturday morning. Friday and Saturday nights
should be fine, assuming that "partly cloudy" forecast behaves itself.
