Extreme cold tempertures continue in the Lakeland region

Extremely cold wind chill values near -40 will continue today. Over southern Alberta windchill values will moderate slightly through the day.

Tonight, extremely cold wind chill values between -40 and -55 are expected throughout much of Alberta.

Risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter.

Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill.

Keep emergency supplies in your vehicle such as extra blankets and jumper cables.

If it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside.
