Are you sure of your conclusion. The wind speed estimate at landfall may have been a best professional judgement (BPJ) based on several data sources. Sometimes a human makes the call. Hopefully the meeting includes representatives of the decision making/reporting meteorology staff. They can explain the basis for the news release.
