Dallas weather: Storms delay, postpone graduations across North Texas

North Texas dealt with thunderstorms for much of the night on Friday.

Some areas saw hail and others just saw rain and lightning.

Several schools had planned outdoor graduation ceremonies on Friday.

Many of the ceremonies were delayed or postponed.

Carroll ISD pushed back the start of their graduation ceremony for Southlake Carroll Senior High School by an hour.

The ceremony, which was held outside Dragon Stadium, was pushed back before events began.

"We were sitting at dinner when we got the text message saying it got pushed an hour," said Cheron Rowe, whose sister was graduating. "They've worked so hard and it doesnt matter how long its gonna take they just want to cross that stage."

The ceremony eventually started around 8:30.

Waxahachie High School, south of Dallas, was supposed to start its graduation at 8 this evening, but because of the storms it was pushed back to 10 o'clock.

Allen High School also pushed back its graduation

"It's more about the event, it doesn't have to be perfect. What's a little rain," said Christopher Peterson, whose son was graduating.
