What the National Weather Service wrote

A wind gust of 47 knots (54 mph) was measured at a Weatherflow automated station at Smith Shoal Light.

The wider storm

A surface trough associated with an upper level low pressure moving through the southeast United States aided in developing a linear mesoscale convective system in the southeast Gulf of Mexico. A line of showers and thunderstorms moved east and produced gale-force wind gusts across the entire length of the Florida keys.

Began near East Cape Sable (24.7100, -81.9200).
