Yeah, I think they ran into a broken layer that was sitting east of the airport since winds still favoring 28L. Either were cleared visual or ran into the RNAV minimums. Doesn't look like they tried to shoot the ILS on 10R given the short turn we made around the peninsula. I'm pretty sure they came in visually. Metar at the time of landing was:

METAR KMRY 040654Z AUTO 20005KT 10SM BKN040 OVC047 11/08
A3013 RMK AO2 RAE01 SLP215 P0000 T01110083 $=

Am not instrument rated, however, so my best guesses as a PPL passenger. I'll have to go pull the live ATC tape as a curiosity.
