A longwave trough over the center of the country pushed a weak cold front through the Lower Texas Coastal Waters the morning of May 25th. As the cold front pushed south, it strengthened due to more available energy over the region. This lead to several Marine Thunderstorm Wind gusts in excess of 34 knots or 39 mph. The strongest Marine Thunderstorm Wind was 61 knots, or 70 mph, at the SPI Brazos Santiago Station.

Marine Thunderstorm Wind in COASTAL WATERS FROM BAFFIN BAY TO PT MANSFIELD TX OUT 20 NM, GULF OF MEXICO
From 25-MAY-22 04:00:00 to 25-MAY-22 05:30:00 (CST-6)
Location: S BAFFIN BAY

A late-May cold front brought a strong line of showers and thunderstorms along with it. The line was fairly strong and was oriented west to east as it pushed south. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the coastal waters out to 20 nautical miles between Baffin Bay and Port Mansfield also experienced Marine Thunderstorm winds based on the Texas Coastal Ocean Observing Network (TCOON) site at Rincon del San Jose (RSJT2) gusting to 40 knots at 5:00AM CDT and remained above 34 knots through 6:06AM CDT. As well as Buoy 42020 gusting above 34 knots from 5:30AM CDT through 7:00AM CDT. The highest measured gust was 45 knots at 5:36AM CDT for RSJT2 and 51 knots at 6:00AM CDT for Buoy 42020.
