What the National Weather Service wrote

Biloxi Keesler KBIX observation of 41 mph.

The wider storm

A stationary front was stalled just onshore. At the same time, a weak upper level trough was moving through the Lower Mississippi Valley. Both of these features tapped into a warm and unstable airmass to produce thunderstorm activity in the coastal waters. These thunderstorms produced a waterspout and a marine thunderstorm wind event.

Began near Keesler Afb (30.4100, -88.9300).
