What the National Weather Service wrote
A wind gust of 35 knots (40 mph) was measured at Long Key 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 Layton (24.8400, -80.8600).
