What the National Weather Service wrote
A marine thunderstorm wind gust of 39 mph (34 kt) was measured by the CWOP Mesonet station FW8551 located in Marco Island.
The wider storm
The combination of high pressure sinking southward and Tropical Depression Ida over the Northeast U.S. allowed for a mid-level trough and deep moisture to sink southward across the region. This prompted light S to SW flow, which pushed the Gulf Sea Breeze inland and towards the east coast while the Atlantic Sea Breeze pinned along the east coast. With adequate moisture and shear, strong storms developed, especially in areas where the sea breezes collided. Multiple waterspouts and strong winds were reported across the Gulf waters.
Began near Wiggins Pass (25.9700, -81.7300).
