A high-wind advisory, issued by the National Weather Service, is in effect through 1 p.m. Wednesday across Fairfield County, most of Connecticut and across the metropolitan area.
It will be freezing Wednesday, with mostly sunny skies. The high will be near 27 degrees, but wind chills will make it feel like it is between 10 and 15 degrees.
