The PIREP or lack thereof from the preceeding traffic seems to be the biggest green light in this case. I would continue, but of course would go around if the GPWS detected windshear.

In addition, per CFM guidance, I would

-Consider landing with a reduced flap setting, assuming available landing distance is adequate.
-Avoid large thrust reductions or trim changes in response to sudden airspeed fluctuations
-Consider use of the autopilot to facilitate closer monitoring of vertical speed and airspeed indications
-Add the appropriate gust factor to the ref and target speeds
-Stabilize the approach no later than 1000 AGL
-Execute a go around if stabilized approach parameters are exceeded, or if vertical speed, altitude, or glideslope deviations indications depart significantly from what would normally be expected
-Pilot monitoring should call out such deviations as they occur
-Closely monitor flight director commands and crosscheck them with flightpath indications.
