Narrative:
While operating our flight; we received radar vectors to join RNAV 28 approach. VMC conditions prevailed after being established and a visual approach was conducted once airport environment was in clear view. Surface wind was reported 240-18g30 causing momentary speed fluctuations of +/-15 knots. During final approach; egpws indicated a brief sink rate warning; which was arrested so the approach could continue to a safe and uneventful touchdown and rollout.
