What the National Weather Service wrote

The Lynnhaven Inlet Light 2 mesonet (XLHI) measured a gust to 35 knots (40 miles per hour).

The wider storm

An area of low pressure formed across a warm front along the Virginia/North Carolina border on May 13. This allowed for a period of elevated east-southeast winds across the Chesapeake Bay, Lower James River, and North Carolina coastal waters. These winds were enhanced by convection moving across the water.

Began near Cape Henry Station (chyv2) (36.9178, -76.0905).
