An upper level disturbance allowed strong thunderstorms to develop across the lower Texas coastal waters on May 16th. Some of these thunderstorms produced strong winds, and buoy BZST2 recorded a gust of 37 knots.

The wider storm

As an upper level disturbance moved across Deep South Texas, strong thunderstorms developed across South Texas on May 15th and continued in a south-southeastward direction, moving across the lower Texas waters on May 16th. This line of storms brought strong marine gusts that were recorded at a couple of the buoys along the coastal waters.
