What the National Weather Service wrote

A wind gust of 39 knots was measured by a WeatherFlow sensor at the Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Tavernier Substation.

The wider storm

Gale-force wind gusts associated with multi-cell convective clusters occurred over the Florida Keys coastal waters as low pressure consolidated over the Florida Panhandle. Strong buoyancy and ample moisture contributed to numerous reports of wind gusts in the 40 to near-50 knot range.

Began near Plantation Key (25.0075, -80.5214).
