What the National Weather Service wrote

An east wind gust of 44 knots was measured at a WeatherFlow station at Carysfort Reef Light.

The wider storm

Deep moisture in the lower troposphere combined with a trough of low pressure over Cuba resulted in vigorous convection over the eastern Straits of Florida, producing isolated gale force winds over the reef offshore the Upper Florida Keys.

Began near Carysfort Reef Light (25.2200, -80.2100).
