The report came from one of the dropsondes. Keep in mind that wind speed just above the ground are often much higher than the surface winds and even higher than the normal flight-level winds we see reported. The dropsonde data can be found here, along with info on how to interpret the reports:

Unfortunately, they don't archive the reports at that address, so you can only see the last report.
