    Thanks to Daniel Deak for saying:

Hello everyone,

Weather permitting, southern US observers will have a nice chance to
watch the
trail produced by the Shuttle reentry tonight. First landing opportunity
is at
03:32 CST (09:32 UTC) with deorbit burn at 02:22 and second opportunity
is for
landing at 05:13 CST with the burn at 04:05. Columbia will cross Central
Texas
on the first attempt and will pass over the southern tip of the state on
the
second.

For maps of the reentry tracks, see
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/groundtracs/

I looked at those reentry tracks. It's a little hard to tell the time at
which I should look for STS-109 reentering?
Time- and altitude-ticks on the ground tracks would be nice.

Specifically, time and highest elevation for each landing opportunity
for So Cal.
(I'm sure other observers would also like to know!)

I'd appreciate any guidance!

Best, Mark
