Won't be pretty,if it goes ahead, but right now its sunny and dry so would say 50/50.
Pitch was playable at 9, there has been hardly any rain, and it's now windy and sunny. Any 12pm inspection following this last 3 hours isn't going to give any different information. Any prolonged period of heavy rain between now and 3pm will see the game called off, if it stays how it is, we must assume it'll go ahead.

A recent game at Accrington was abandoned wasn't it? The Plainmoor pitch isn't that bad! It certainly depends more upon the changeable weather than anything else.
Actually, come midday, anybody reading my earlier posts (p.8 onwards) will realise how brilliantly predictive they were..
I'm now just standing at my window, with views towards Torquay. I saw 'towards' as opposed to 'of' because I can no longer see Torquay, however more blue sky is appearing behind the latest shower.
This is going to be touch and go right up until 3pm, and even if it does go ahead, it'll still be doubtful right up until the final whistle blows.
