The early afternoon's round of quick-moving rain was likely the most impactful with lightning.
While there was a break in the action around 3 p.m., there wasn't a lot of time for the atmosphere to recover, so the second round that moves in around 6 p.m. shouldn't be as intense.
The showers and storms clear Friday night with lingering clouds into morning Saturday.
