What the National Weather Service wrote

A wind gust of 36 knots (41 MPH) was measured by the Saunders Point Light WeatherFlow sensor (XMTR).

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 Saunders Point Light (38.8800, -76.4800).
