A WeatherFlow station near the entrance of Winyah Bay recorded a wind gust of 76 mph (instrument is 50 feet off the ground).

The wider storm

A quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) developed along a strong cold front which pushed through a very high shear (80 knots of effective bulk shear)/low CAPE (500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE) environment across the area and the nearby coastal waters. A few discrete storms also developed ahead of the main line. A Wind Advisory was in effect for the entire area except for coastal counties where a High Wind Warning was in effect. A Storm Warning was in effect for our marine zones.

Began near Winyah Bay Range A Rear Light (33.1927, -79.1765).
