Do weather changes affect the ionosphere in the lower layers that are
responsible for night time propagation?

I rather doubt it as the D layer (lowest of the ionosphere) begins about 30
miles up.

But there's been some recent discoveries that strong lighting strikes
have an upwards effect that goes about that high. (Buzzword: Sprites.)
And, I gather, there was a whole lot of lightning in that storm.

Apparently there is a connection between thunderheads and the
ionosphere. There are the "Sprites" and other types of flashes seen from
the tops of storm cloud formations.
