A deep surface to upper atmosphere low pressure system, stretching from the Great Lakes region to Georgia, moved even further south into the northeast Gulf of Mexico. The trough and associated disturbance aloft moved slowly towards central Florida during the day as a swath of high moisture reached the area. Strong to severe thunderstorms developed as daytime heating intensified. As these storms moved across the intracoastal and nearshore waters along the Treasure Coast, they produced strong wind gusts. Across northeast Florida, storms merged into a Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) that then pushed south across east central Florida. This MCS brought strong winds to the Brevard County coast.
