Narrative:THE PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING THUNDERSTORM ON RUNWAY 17. WITNESSES REPORTED LOW CEILINGS AND GUSTING WINDS AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. A WEATHER REPORTING STATION 7 MILES AWAY REPORTED WINDS FROM 310 DEGREES AT 20 KNOTS GUSTING TO 32 KNOTS. THE PILOT REPORTED A STRONG RIGHT CROSSWIND FROM THE STORM PREVENTED HIM FROM LOWERING THE RIGHT WHEEL AND FORCED THE AIRPLANE OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.

Probable Cause: the pilots decision to attempt a landing ahead of the approaching thunderstorm, and his failure to maintain directional control. A factor was the gusting crosswind ahead of the storm.
