Narrative:
I was working with my student on touch-and-goes at XA30 and the WX was VFR. After doing the first one, the ceiling started to drop and the tower wasn't open. The WX started to drop down. After we did a couple, the tower was opened so tower said 'you better go to approach,' so we got radar vectors to ads.
