The wintry blast will return overnight into Saturday with wind chills in the mid-20s, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a freeze watch for Fairfield County from 1 to 9 a.m. Saturday morning. 

The potentially subfreezing temperatures could damage or kill seasonal and sensitive plants that are left uncovered. 

Below-average temperatures will continue Sunday with a high near 58, but wind chills will make it feel closer to mid-30s. 

Sun will linger in the area for a while, but temperatures won't make it to the mid-60s until the middle of the week.
