What the National Weather Service wrote

A thunderstorm wind gust of 51 mph / 44 knots was measured at the SFWMD Lake Okeechobee North End sensor.

The wider storm

A weak mid-level low was centered over the Florida Peninsula, with dry air aloft due to a Saharan Air Layer. Low-level southeast winds brought in sufficient moisture, which combined with steep mid-level lapse rates to support isolated strong to severe thunderstorms over portions of South Florida on the afternoon and evening of July 10th.

Began near Buckhead Ridge (27.1400, -80.7900).
