More than likely the release of the autobrakes which is done by tapping the brakes manually once the aircraft has slowed down a bit. Usually done to shorten or prolong the landing roll, sometimes to make a particular exit.

In this case I suspect a high level of autobrake was initially set in case the weather affected braking action and then disengaged once deemed no longer necessary.
