What the National Weather Service wrote

A wind gust of 50 mph/43 knots was measured at the WxFlow Biscayne Bay Light station XKBS as a thunderstorm moved offshore. The height of the anemometer is 20 feet.

The wider storm

A weak surface boundary moving across South Florida brought ample instability, lift, and moisture advection to provide conditions prime for afternoon convection on August 15th. Numerous showers and thunderstorms brough the threat for hazards such as heavy downpours and gusty winds.

Began near Key Biscayne (25.6600, -80.1900).
