Event narrative

Buoy 42040 reported a thunderstorm wind gust of 56 mph or 49 knots.

Wider weather episode

The region was under the influence of northwest flow in the upper levels. More importantly, the mid levels cooled and low levels warmed quite a bit compared to previous days. That combination resulted in steep lapse rates, a very unstable mid level environment. This was especially so over coastal locations of the local area, multiple storms produced severe thunderstorm winds.
