Default Florida Winds

Can somebody with knowledge about wind explain how this happens?

All day today, radar showed weather cells passing across Florida from west to east. Maybe west / southwest to east / northeast. But the National Weather Service report said, and it was obvious when I was riding my bicycle, that on the ground the wind was raging out of the north / northeast. How can the ground level wind direction be so different from the winds aloft?
