What the National Weather Service wrote

A late-May cold front brought a strong line of showers and thunderstorms along with it. The Texas Coastal Ocean Observing Center (TCOON) site at SPI Brazos Santiago (BZST2) recorded wind gusts in excess of 34 knots from 6:48AM CDT through 8:42AM CDT, with the peak gust of 61 knots observed at 6:48AM CDT.

The wider storm

A longwave trough over the center of the country pushed a weak cold front through the Lower Texas Coastal Waters the morning of May 25th. As the cold front pushed south, it strengthened due to more available energy over the region. This lead to several Marine Thunderstorm Wind gusts in excess of 34 knots or 39 mph. The strongest Marine Thunderstorm Wind was 61 knots, or 70 mph, at the SPI Brazos Santiago Station.

Began near South Padre Island (26.0681, -97.1521).
