I flew in this morning and they were using the 16's.

It also was stronger than that previously, at about 20kts, so there may have been earlier reports and they were continuing the trend.

Perhaps more importantly, the change involves tailwind components. It is quite a surprise to be making an approach and discover a tailwind at 500ft if you're not expecting it, particularly if reasonably strong. If they were using runway 25 the information would likely not have been present.
