Narrative:
Was initially on vectors for the localizer 23L; sidestep for 23R approach. Once we were visual with runway 23R; we informed approach and they cleared us for the visual. After being handed over to tower; we were advised of a low altitude warning. We were dealing with a rapidly changing weather system and tried to maintain glide slope with the visual lighting system as best we could. We remained visual and slowed our descent rate and landed without further incident.
