What the National Weather Service wrote

A wind gust of 39 knots was measured at Pulaski Shoal Light.

The wider storm

Gale-force wind gust were associated with thunderstorms occurring to the southeast of a non-tropical trough of low pressure during the approach of developing Tropical Storm Philippe in the northwest Caribbean Sea. As the complex center of Tropical Storm Philippe emerged from Cuba into the Straits of Florida, scattered showers and thunderstorms embedded in a developing northerly wind band from the interaction with the non-tropical trough resulted in several more brief gale-force wind gusts.

Began near Dry Tortugas Light (24.6930, -82.7730).
