Narrative:
While on the lga localizer runway 31 approach at the final approach fix; we got a caution obstacle warning while we were descending from the final approach fix (farby). The warning came on once and I continued because I was configured to land and the speed bug was close to the flap overspeed. I initially did not hear the warning because I was task saturated and listening to two radios at the same time while managing speed; altitude; and attitude all while in light to moderate chop. The first officer notified me after the fact that the warning happened once. Since it was after the fact I continued the approach stabilized. In retrospect I should have initiated a go-around immediately. The approach winds were very turbulent at the time; and visibility was VFR.
