Narrative:
Bos conducting land/hold short operations to runway 15R hold short of runway 9/27. ATIS wind reported 120 degrees at 6 KTS. On short final tower reported wind as 030 degrees at 8 KTS for 4 KT tailwind. During approach a large thunderstorm had been observed radar and visually directly over the missed approach route. Elected to continue to landing as safer than going around into a thunderstorm.
