I don’t know the particulars of the cockpit avionics, training, experience & currency, but with the benefit of hindsight, I’ll vote for not even a divert, but landing short. They came from TX, so plenty of time to evaluate the weather & options. I thought I read somewhere about abnormalities during the approach?

Yeah, the 53 dogs would require attention with an intermediate stop, so be it. Look at nearby TAFs, maybe better WX a few hours later. It turned out kinda ok, all alive, what’s left of the plane off to the salvage yard.
