Methinks the bird may be staying on the ground. Ah well, should be able to at least practice preflight. With a scheduled TO of 2200Z weather right now is marginal (CFI likes a ceiling of 2500), but looking really bad around 2345. But, the wx report has been wrong in the past.

Edit: 1745Z

It's holding. Maybe it will break before 1400 local. Dew point and temperature are widening, this is good.

Edit: 1910Z

The Mark 1A eyeballs are telling me the plane will remain on the ground. That's OK, as said in my textbook "It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than in the air and wishing you were on the ground".
