Miami, FL - facing west at 6:45 AM today.
Thanks to Llewlladdwr who suggested that this this is an anticrepuscular ray. This led to a search for more images.

"Anticrepuscular rays are similar to crepuscular rays, but seen opposite the sun in the sky. Anticrepuscular rays are near-parallel, but appear to converge at the antisolar point because of linear perspective.[1] Anticrepuscular rays are most frequently visible near sunrise or sunset."
