Here's the reported hourly weather observations from an earlier post on this thread:
Are you looking at the TEMPO perhaps?
Some airlines buy data from the manufacturer for 15 knot tailwinds and also higher OAT's, not sure if it is available for the Triple.
If you demanded a landing into the traffic flow at ATL or JFK you'd probably hear from the chief pilot's office, right?
I have on several occasions, never heard a word about it. We are told repeatedly to make the tough call and the CP's office will back you up. That has always held true at my airline.
