EXTREME COLD WARNING

Extreme Cold Warning in effect for:
  • Fort Saskatchewan and Nrn Strathcona Co.

Extremely cold wind chill values of minus 40 to minus 45 are expected or occurring. Temperatures will moderate somewhat during the afternoon hours, however, nighttime and morning wind chills near minus 40 or colder will continue into Wednesday morning for some areas. Extreme cold puts everyone at risk. Risks are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter. Watch for cold related symptoms: shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle pain and weakness, numbness and colour change in fingers and toes. Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill. If it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside. Extreme cold warnings are issued when very cold temperatures or wind chill creates an elevated risk to health such as frost bite and hypothermia. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ABstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #ABStorm.
