 Due to its abrupt weakening prior to landfall, Don produced minimal rainfall, with totals of less than 1 in (25 mm). However, Bay City, Texas, located well northeast of where the storm made landfall, reported 2.56 in (65 mm). In southern Texas, the rains resulted in slippery roads and some ponding. Cotton farmers benefited from what rains that did fall as they harvested their crop. Winds during Don's passage were minimal, with a peak wind gust of 41 mph (66 km / h) at Waldron Field. In addition, Don moved ashore with a storm surge that peaked at about 1.89 ft (0.58 m) at Bob Hall Pier. There were no reports of damage.
