What the National Weather Service wrote

Several boats capsized in Biscayne Bay, with one report at the Venetian Marina as a result of strong winds during the early morning hours of November 16th. Mesonet station wind gusts on Biscayne Bay were as high as 65 mph/57 knots, with sustained winds measured up to 48 mph/42 knots.

The wider storm

As a strengthening low-pressure system moved across the Florida Keys into the Atlantic, a wake-low developed on the backside of the system's precipitation field. This resulted in strong winds across the nearshore Atlantic Waters on the morning of November 16th.

Began near Key Biscayne (25.7889, -80.1608).
