Correct. The other weather factors favored Runway 23 even more.

We don't know where the flight came on to the TRACON's radar. Perhaps the position favored least remaining track miles to Runway 5. Presumably, we will find that out, or perhaps someone already has.

EDIT: Note the ILS 23 and LOC 05 have a common frequency. Odds are ATC had the ILS 23 configured, which would have made the LOC 05 not readily available.
