Wind gusts of up to 50 knots (58 MPH) were measured by a mesonet on the MD-33 Knapps Narrows Drawbridge (MD073).
Wider weather episode

Aided by dynamics and moderately strong shear from an approaching upper-level trough, the front spawned bands of thunderstorms that produced up to storm-force winds over area waterways.
