record dry spell... not exactly

Burlington has had 10 days without measurable precipitation.

They should reach at least 12 days, climbing into the top 25 consecutive dry days for the Aug through Oct period. If they miss Friday’s precipitation, they could get to 15 dry days which would make the top 10, but still be far from number one. The driest spell for late summer is 23 consecutive days in 1894 and 1924.

The all time dry spell for Burlington, for any time of year, is 52 days
which occurred from April 17 through June 7 1903.
