Through the first 15 days of July (and in fact, the 16th also), only a trace of rain was observed at Reagan National Airport. This is the only time on record, dating back to 1871, that no measurable rain fell in the first 15 days of July. The old low benchmark of 0.08" was set in 1900. Normal rainfall for the first 15 days of July is 1.86 inches, and back in 1905, the wettest first 15 days of July brought 7.05" of rain. https://www.weather.gov/lwx/dryjuly2018

New Day 1 has enhanced risk... 30 percent wind

I don't have any threads saved that I know of, but I'll check to see if i have anything on my old flash drives or saved on my computer somewhere

Thank you for looking that up for me - I greatly appreciate it

Rodney, Topper Shutt on the 6 o'clock news stated that if DCA hits 80 degrees tomorrow, it would be the earliest 80 degree record in DCA history - prior record was Feb 24, 1930. Didn't we have an 80 degree temp in Jan or Feb of 1998 during the 1997-1998 super el nino?

From Broyles... Day 4 OTLK:

Anything before 2003 I don't remember much of, so I am basing my ratings after that storm. In '96, I was stuck in FL for my grandparents' 50th wedding aniversary, so I missed that storm completely... it was hell to get a flight back into DCA from JAX... Jan 2000 -- All I really remember was listening to my weather radio and hoping beyond hope Bob Ryan was wrong (that we would get grazed by the SLP at best, one inch at most) and hearing my weather radio go off ~10PM and WSWarnings being issued for 4-8 inches for us... then 6-12 later that night and so on. I remember running downstairs to my dad and telling him -- he didn't believe me until he saw the warnings himself 2009-10 season as a whole was the best... I remember being on the computer alot where I work and not getting much done during the December storm and the February storms since I was tracking the storms so much... luckily most of the admin knows I am a "weather nerd" so they let me do some model watching as long as I did some work If I had to pick one, probably the Feb 5-6 storm first

96 we were stuck in FL (JAX) for a family vacation and it was tough getting back in... we got one of the last flights back from RDU to DCA. 09-10 was awesome for both storms, both the Dec and Feb ones.
