cross country flight tomorrow

Hi,
Im scheduled to undertake my dual cross country tomorrow 20/12/08 on the following route:

Prestwick-Dundee-Perth-Prestwick

My question is by looking at tomorrows weather forecast im unsure whether i will be able to go as its to cloud up later and im going at 11am and i was wandering if anyone else could give me some advice about it. Ill obviously talk to my instructer before it but i wanted some idea of whether i will be going.

Thankyou

Looking at the latest TAF the wind is forecast to ease by tomorrow morning but visibility reduces and it clouds over from mid day with rain. So my guess is you won't be flying!

Winds reducing to 5kts variable in the morning. Tempo of rain in the afternoon with 8000m viz and cloud broken at 1200'

The synoptic shows a warm front pushing up from the south - around N Wales at 1200. I'd keep an open mind and see how what how the forecasts look in the morning - more often than not I find them to be overly persimistic these days.

Also given its a dual xc you will have your instructor with you so he/she can keep you right.

Good luck !
