Marine Thunderstorm Wind September 11, 2021 · Chokoloskee To Bonita Beach Fl Out 20nm, Gulf of Mexico
Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
What the National Weather Service wrote
A marine thunderstorm wind gust of 48 mph (42 kt) was measured by the AWOS station KMKY located at Marco Island.
The wider storm
High pressure over the western Atlantic waters allowed for an easterly wind flow to set up across South FL. This allowed for the Atlantic sea breeze to push westward across South FL while the Gulf sea breeze remained pinned across the west coast metro areas. This allowed for strong showers and storms to develop during the afternoon and evening hours across interior sections and the Gulf coast, including the Lake Okeechobee and Gulf waters. Strong wind gusts and frequent lightning were the main hazards.
Began near Wiggins Pass (25.9994, -81.6712).
