The South Tybee Island Weatherflow site measured a 37 knot wind gust with a passing line of thunderstorms. The wind gusts continued to increase over the next 20 minutes and a peak wind gust of 51 knots occurred during that time.

The wider storm

Early in the afternoon, isolated thunderstorms developed along the coast as the sea breeze began to set up. These storms produced strong wind gusts along the coast. Then later in the afternoon and through the evening, a strong line of thunderstorms developed within an inland trough and progressed eastward. As the line of thunderstorms moved through coastal locations and the adjacent coastal waters numerous reports of strong wind gusts were reported by area observation sites.

Began near Tybee Island (31.9800, -80.8500).
