Narrative:
We were on the RNAV approach into ZZZ. For half an hour leading up to this we were experiencing a bumpy ride and were extended out over the lake (off the approach) for sequencing into ZZZ. Gusty winds were reported (180/23 kts/G35KT) on final and aircraft were also reporting plus or minus 20. We were stabilized before 1000 ft; but; shortly thereafter; we experienced plus 15. Still stabilized; but a possible flap overspeed entered my mind. On short final; I received an aural 'pull up'. We were not low on the glidepath; nor experiencing an excessive sink rate and over airport property; so I continued and landed without incident in the touchdown zone.
