Narrative:
We departed a non-controlled field for another non-controlled field 12 miles away. The flight was a repositioning flight after a long duty day. Upon our previous arrival we found the weather to be better than what the AWOS was reporting. We departed normally and leveled off at our anticipated altitude. Due to the short distance between the two fields; upon leveling we began to configure the aircraft for arrival. The weather began deteriorating which added to our already heavy workload. The aircraft began a descent that was not immediately detected by us due to the high workload. The descent prompted an alert from the terrain alert warning system. The pilot flying arrested the descent and we continued on to a normal uneventful landing.
