The match official has already passed the pitch once and plans to look again at 3.30pm.
Referee Don Robertson says Dens Park is playable - but admits that could change later this afternoon with a second pitch inspection looming.
However, with The Dark Blues already having four games called off this season on their home patch and with the Met Office predicting heavy downpours, the whistler has conceded he has concerns over certain areas of the pitch going into the Scottish Premiership clash. Ref Robertson told Sky Sports News: "I've inspected the pitch at 11am. The pitch is playable at the moment. I was asked by the league to come up this morning and conduct that inspection.
"All areas of the pitch including areas where there were concerns a couple of weeks ago when the match was postponed and subsequently. That's the situation just now as we stand. Everyone is aware of the weather forecast for the area this afternoon."
