(AP Photo) The cause of the crash is unclear at this time, but unsettled weather was present at the airport at time of the incident. According to FlightRadar24, the plane landed at 6:19 p.m. local time."Rain and thunderstorms moved across the area from 5:20 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Eric Leister said."A wind gust near 40 mph (65 km/h) was reported at the airport at 6:20 p.m. local time," Leister added. This was right around the time that the plane crashed at the airport.The plane was attempting to land in strong tailwinds, the same winds that had forced two other previous flights to delay landing, according to Turkish news media via Reuters.Visibility was around 4.5 miles with clouds around 5,000 feet above the ground, Leister said, adding that "temperatures were well above freezing in the area [at the time of the crash]."The airport was closed for a time immediately following the crash and flights were diverted to other airports."Showers will continue across the area into Thursday morning and may mix with snow before ending on Thursday," Leister said.
