Even brief storms can cause scattered damage and hazardous travel conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The warning remains active through 5 p.m. EST Friday, and additional alerts may be issued if the storm strengthens or changes direction.<\/p>\n<p>Late-afternoon storms can also affect commuters and students traveling home, particularly on rural roads where falling branches or reduced visibility may occur.<\/p>\n<p>This article was produced by a journalist and may include AI-assisted input.
