Klein Collins High School seniors walked with umbrellas in their hands while their loved ones tried to stay dry in the stands.

Some parents said they were scrambling to find ponchos and umbrellas before the ceremony.
"We were running around last minute like everybody else, looking for the same things," said one parent.

Over at Alief ISD, Elsik High School graduates walked across the stage with an umbrella in one hand and giving out fist bumps with the other.
