Predictive windshear warning

The PWS system issues a warning for a windshear detected 1.5nm ahead. Firstly, that's hardly predictive, you'll agree.
Some of the pictorial examples show the culprit CB even 7 miles or so away. Could the PWS warning even be issued for weather further than 1.5nm?
Is the Go Around Windshear ahead warning a rule that one goes around or a recommendation?
What would you do if, You were in very calm conditions at 300 feet on short finals( no precipitation, calm winds, whole runway in sight) and got the Go Around Windshear ahead wx with a very mature and threatening CB on the Go Around path 6nm ahead of you. Would you land or go around?
