Tempo ended at 0000 so just need fuel for that plus 30mins. Both crew probably could have held for 30 and landed with FFR but that wasn't the wx they experienced so on arrival decided that it was better to conduct approach. As you probably know conducting approaches burns through the fuel much quicker than just being in a hold.
