Low visibility during storms

I have GWX 3.0 installed. I'm not entirely sure if that greatly modifies visibility or not. Anyways, America has just entered the war so I'm taking my IX u-boat to stalk the waters in front of New York. It's taking awhile so I'm going at 256 time compression. I suddenly get a notification that there's an enemy destroyer within visual range. I went to my conning tower and lo and behold, the destroyer is so close that he could shine his spotlight in my face. First thing I noticed was that it was midnight, raining hard and the waves are very wild. I didn't even have enough time to order a crash dive before my hull was torn open. Is visibility really that bad during a full-on storm? Hydrophone didn't even pick up the destroyer until he was so close.
