I wish I had an easy answer for you. However, wx is a non-trivial
subject. There are two ways you can make use of your 396 in wx. First,
you can fly with a CFI who is experienced in flying cross country.
Second you can start out very, very conservative and learn as you go
how the wx on your 396 affects your flight.

Agree.

I have a lot of hours using XmWx to dodge CBs. I have found it to be a
wonderful tool, but it is definitely something you want to ease into as you
learn how the colored blobs you see on the screen translate to what you see
out the window.
