Minneapolis Star Tribune today says weather was a major factor in the accident . Indicated they landed with a tailwind with major cells 5 miles from airport. Had a similar situation landing to the west at PHX. A headwind on landing switched to a 30 knot tailwind on short final so went around due to a big cell east of the airport flying an MD80.
