1988 was bad, but in the all important summer months the level never dropped below 485, even though it never got much above that either. But in the summer of 1986 the level was below 485 for most of July and August, and was down near 482 by Labor Day weekend.

I think this could turn out to be worse than 1986. The low levels in 1986 were caused by a very dry spring; the drought broke on Memorial Day, and as I remember rainfall was about normal that summer, but normal wasn't enough to overcome the lack of rain that spring. But from all I've heard, no one is expecting normal rainfall this summer.
