Narrative:

Was flying VFR approach to tmb runway 9R, WX was MVFR, occasionally IFR. Reported OM to tower and was cleared to land runway 9R. Tower then asked, when I was approximately 3 mi out, if I could see runway -- looked, and reported no. Then tower asked again. I looked up and saw runway lights and reported yes. Was again cleared to land. Runway remained in sight until landing. However, prior to my landing tower reported to aircraft following me that field was now IFR.
