HOWEVER, A WITNESS WHO WAS 1,000 FT NORTH OF THE ACCIDENT SITE STATED THE WX CONSISTED OF A LOW OVERCAST & THAT THE VISIBILITY WAS CLOSE TO ZERO. HE OBSERVED THE ACFT PASS OVERHEAD THREE TIMES AT ABOUT 300 FT AGL & SAW THE ACFT'S LIGHTS PARTIALLY HIDDEN IN FOG. THE ACFT THEN EMERGED OUT OF THE FOG IN A RIGHT TURN & DESCENDED TO THE GROUND. A PILOT REPORTED THAT THE SKY WAS CLEAR ABOUT 15 MI SOUTH OF THE ARPT BUT AT 10 MI SOUTH OF THE ARPT THE WX DROPPED TO 2,000 FT OVERCAST WITH 5-7 MI VISIBILITY IN LIGHT DRIZZLE.
