What part are you in? I'm in The Woodlands - have been listening to the rain, but haven't gone out to look (of course it's dark) to see any sleet. I'm going to have to keep a close eye since I am expected to be at work in the morning.
Wow, the winds ours howling here in Beaumont! The inside of my house is howling, mainly from the doggy door, but it brings back memories of a weak TS and the eerie sounds of the howling winds...lol. So far, WB still says 32, but from what I can tell, still light rain.

Certainly showing up nicely now via EWX radar. Curved banding developing near San Antonio suggest lift is increasing and the sleet falling to our N and W will just assist in further cooling the column.
