If the increased speed was only a little it could have been due to operational policy in dealing with gusts or even strong steady-state winds, but I don't know what they were calling the winds at the time of landing.

The NTSB woman yesterday said the winds were 13 MPH. I can't see that as a factor.

13 with no gusts? I agree, not a factor unless a strong component of it was a tailwind-- and that's not likely.
