Narrative:

First officer and I were en-route to ZZZ. We were holding for approximately 25 minutes and expected to divert when; just prior to diverting; we were cleared into ZZZ. We were vectored on the downwind and were deviating around weather. On the downwind; there was a moderate radar echo at our 12 O'clock and approach turned us in on a base. We chose to accept the turn to base even though we were still a bit high to avoid the moderate radar echo. Under 'normal' circumstances; we would have been able to easily lose the altitude needed to capture the glideslope. We received one more turn to intercept and then attempted to fly the ILS into ZZZ. The flight conditions on final were moderate turbulence; rain; and a tailwind; while the wind on the surface favored [a specific] runway. We were trying to descend and capture the glideslope from above but the updrafts were making it difficult. I continued to attempt to recapture the glideslope until roughly 1;000 AGL; when we hit another sudden updraft. This updraft; in conjunction with my rapid descent; resulted in a momentary flap overspeed of roughly 5 knots. I decided it was in the best interest of safety to go around. We executed a go-around; re-established on a downwind; and evaluated our fuel remaining. We also discussed the flap overspeed. We had enough fuel remaining to shoot one more approach and continue to our alternate with more than adequate alternate fuel remaining. However; given the weather surrounding us; I knew a direct path to our alternate would be difficult to achieve; so I chose to declare min fuel. We were then vectored onto the ILS for a second attempt. The second ILS resulted in a safe landing. We blocked in and reported the flap over-speed to maintenance.
