| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Scattered thunderstorms developed during the afternoon hours of May 29th. Only a couple storms became severe to produce damaging winds in eastern Green County and western Rock County. Elsewhere, a non-severe storm resulted in several outdoor lightning injuries in Burlington (Racine Co.).May 28th and May 29th were very warm days for late May in the Milwaukee area. The max/min air temperatures for the two days were 90/65 and 89/70, respectively, and they were 77/65 on May 30th. Normal highs and lows for late May are 71 and 51. Afternoon heat index values were in the 90 to 95 range on both the 28th and 29th. An 80-year-old women died In Milwaukee due to heat hyperthermia on May 30th, after the combined affects of the 28th and 29th. She was found in her residence with all windows closed, and no fan or air conditioning. The ambient weather conditions were below official heat advisory criteria, therefore a heat event was not generated for May 30th. Consequently, although the medical examiner classified heat as the primary cause of death, this heat-related death will be considered as indirectly-related for StormData purposes. |
