You can pass in data to a particle system using control points through code, maybe you can use that to somehow setup the initialization property for deciding a rectangle to spawn the rain in. Maybe even in not using a rectangle, but accessing the brush's model representation and spawning randomly inside the model (There was a property we used for a weapon model to do similar, but never tried with a brush model).
