What the National Weather Service wrote

A wind gust of 35 knots (40 MPH) was measured by the Tolchester Beach NOS sensor (TCBM2).

The wider storm

A strong cold front ignited a band of thunderstorms. The gust front rushed out ahead of the precipitation cores, but given the steep low-level lapse rates the gusts were able to maintain gale- to even storm-force as they crossed portions of the waters late in the afternoon.

Began near Tolchester Md (tcbm2) (39.2100, -76.2400).
