Quote - As a former professional meterologist and weather observer I noticed that the rain is not so realistic looking. It seldom comes down in straight line sheets. The air is turbulent with the downdrafts so the sheets wave a bit. Also the color has a greenish hazy tint. Maybe use 3-4 sheets, each wavy in a different way and add a hit of mist so I looks more like rain and not an object.

Thanks for the input...I'm not too crazy about that rain either. Back to the drawing board...
