Not sure about the latest FCOM but before when PWS warning was still a memory item it was written that if the crews make a positive verification that no hazards exist then the alert may be disregarded. Alerts can be spurious. It's all about common sense. If it's clear weather outside, and you have a PWS alert then obviously you can assess the situation and ignore it. Now if there are CBs activities on final then it's a no brainer IMHO, follow the PWS warning. We are pilots after all we should not follow blindly what a computer is telling us to do. I have seen a guy asking me to request weather deviation cause the weather radar was showing a
predictive overflight Icon, new feature on the latest weather radar indicating the risk of a fast growing cells ahead of the aircraft. It was during day time and there was absolutely nothing!! I was like: Are you trolling me right now? Pilots don't even look outside anymore...
