Scattered showers are part of the overnight forecast behind the cold front that triggered all the severe weather on Tuesday.
Quite a bit of rain was also a problem last night too.
Our Wednesday opens with much colder air as the morning lows start in the upper 30s and low 40s. Wet weather could hit at just about anytime and likely in the afternoon we'll see cold based thundershowers which could drop some quick hail. Highs only reach the mid 40s by 4pm.
Light showers are still possible late on Wednesday night into Thursday morning and with the below freezing temps early Thursday, a few snow showers are not out of the question.
It stays cold on Friday with partly to mostly cloudy skies before clearing for the weekend.

HISTORY
It's the 50th anniversary of the Tri-State's "super tornado outbreak," in which there were a record 30 F4 to F5 tornadoes that hit six states in just 24 hours.
One of those tornadoes, an F5 with 300 mph winds, practically destroyed the nearby town of Xenia, Ohio, killing 33 people and injuring 1,150 — but not before the same system swept through Greater Cincinnati. Ten tornadoes touched down in the Tri-State on the day before Reds Opening Day, starting around 4 p.m. and continuing into the night. At one point, the National Weather Service was tracking five funnel clouds on its local radar at the airport.
Those tornadoes killed five people in Hamilton County and sent more than 200 injured to hospitals. More than 350 homes were destroyed and hundreds more were badly damaged. Two more deaths were reported in Franklin County, Indiana.
The biggest tornado crossed the Ohio River and laid waste to Sayler Park, then proceeded into Mack and Bridgetown, ripping off the roofs of Our Lady of Visitation and Springmyer schools and destroying scores of homes in those residential areas before spreading its damage north to Roselawn, Elmwood Place and Sharonville.
