Narrative:

I was the pilot flying on a delayed flight to lga. The weather in lga was marginal all day with low ceilings; rain and gusty winds. The two prior flights to ours had cancelled and the two flights after us cancelled as well. Our aircraft arrived late and we spent close to an hour in the awaiting our edct. We held for close 40 minutes just 5 minutes shy of diverting to avp or jfk. We were vectored for ILS 13 to lga and were informed of pireps reporting speed gains and losses of up to 15 knots on final. With the speed fluctuations; I instructed the first officer (pilot monitoring) to watch my speed. At 1000 feet MSL we experienced the reported speed gains and losses of 15kts a couple times. We were in IMC; it was raining heavily and the wipers were on high - cockpit noise was high. I kept the ap and at's on as I transitioned from 'inside the cockpit' to 'outside - flying visually' as the first officer called the runway -'in sight!' [at] 600-700 feet [AGL] I got visual of the runway. Prior to the '500 foot call out' we got the wind shear warning. The warning lasted just a few seconds and my speed fluctuated only 10-12kts. By the time I realized what had happened the warning went away; we were still on glide path; localizer and the speed was under control. I continued the approach and landed safely. We discussed what had happened after the flight and both agreed that I should have initiated the wind shear recovery procedure. The first officer said he prompted me to initiate the recovery procedure but I didn't hear it at the time. I realized what had happened too late and it was over so quick. I never actually heard the 3 wind shear audible warnings. This was my first wind shear warning on landing; outside the simulator.be more proactive and vigilant when it comes to wind shear events. Brief recovery procedures prior to takeoff and landing; when wind shear warnings/pireps exist.

Title: ERJ-170 flight crew reported receiving a wind shear warning on approach to LGA but nevertheless continued to landing.

Narrative: I was the pilot flying on a delayed flight to LGA. The weather in LGA was marginal all day with low ceilings; rain and gusty winds. The two prior flights to ours had cancelled and the two flights after us cancelled as well. Our aircraft arrived late and we spent close to an hour in the awaiting our EDCT.
