A wind gust of 35 knots was measured at an automated WeatherFlow station on Upper Matecumbe Key.

The wider storm

A strong pressure gradient between high pressure over the southeast United States and a trough of low pressure over the western Caribbean enabled numerous convective showers and a few thunderstorms to produce gale-force wind gusts over an extended period from midday September 20 through late morning September 22.

Began near Plantation Key (24.9189, -80.6351).
