Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
What the National Weather Service wrote
A 45 mph gust was measured by a NPS/RAWS Mesonet Station on Padre Island.
The wider storm
On the 19th, South Texas remained under the influence of a weak surface ridging. However, the main 500 mb high ridge that had been a fixture over the area continued to shift further westward across the SW CONUS. This westward shift allowed for a more favorable environment for lift and precipitation with a passage of a series of shortwave troughs expected this day. With the combination of mid to upper-level forcing from the shortwaves, daytime heating, and ample moisture, thunderstorm activity was anticipated to increase in intensity and coverage through the day. A series of stronger storms led to gusty winds, particularly across our marine areas.
Began near Bob Hall Pier (27.4400, -97.2900).
