I talked with my aunt who also lives on the east side of Manhattan and she
said it's been a crappy day up there... in fact, while I was talking to
her it started raining.

CNN reports 8-mile visibility but low ceiling (1800') at the time of the
crash. (Most of CNN's coverage has been quite good; they're getting
commentary from their journalist Miles O'Brien, who's a pilot. They also
found a pilot eyewitness on the ground who provided a cogent account.)
