Yes the Cosgrove 8th edition covers all you need but as some of the met can be difficult two other books were recommended to me.
"Pilot's Weather" by Brian Cosgrove and "Meteorology and Flight" by Tom Bradbury. Both are good as they offer different explanations and diagrams which may just 'click' better with you.
You'll also need sectional charts to study for the nav.
