Departed ZZZ at approx XA30 PST for ZZZ1. Weather briefing METAR on departure was calm winds but TAF had predicted crosswinds up to 20 kts. by XG00. ATIS on arrival to terminal area said wind 200/09 but some low level wind shear reported. ZZZ1 was landing XXR /XXL; so this was setup to be a quartering tailwind landing. I was setup to land with 10 flaps and on short final was doing about 90 kts. On 1 mile short final; wind check with tower was 190/10. Over the numbers I deployed full flaps and touched down at around 70 kts. I was honestly pleased with the setup and felt fully stabilized to make the landing safely and expected to use a lot of the 5500 ft. Runway to slow down. We touched down at the markers and started the ground roll without any problems. With 3 wheels down; flaps ft. will deployed; prop idle; I felt a gust from the left rear which I believed was 'weather vaning' the plane to the left and so I put in right rudder and had the controls down and away (full forward and turning to the right). I had not applied any brakes yet.The plane briefly tipped up so that the left main was no longer in contact with the Runway and the plane was rolling on the nose and right main only. I was concerned/scared that the plane was going to tip over. At this point the prop made contact with the Runway surface briefly. I estimate that we were doing between 40-50 kts. The plane righted itself on the centerline and we were able to taxi off at Taxiway1 and go to FBO without further incidentThoughts/reflections: Should I have deployed full flaps or just landed with 10 flaps? Should I have asked the tower for return to the pattern and land Runway XY (better with wind direction). I do not think a 'go round' was feasible as I was already on the ground and decelerating when the plane tipped to the right. Application of power would probably not been beneficial at this point. Future action: get additional training in cross wind landing; personal note to bug wind direction on HSI / PFD on final; and reset personal minimums for crosswind components.
Cessna 182 pilot reported encountering a wind gust from his left rear that lifted the aircraft enough to cause the propeller to strike the runway.
