It might be best to cozy up indoors, as an extreme cold warning has been issued for much of the province.

A period of very cold wind chills is expected to be felt on Saturday evening, as lows in the -30’s along with winds of 10 to 15 km/h will produce extreme cold windchills of -40 or lower.

“An arctic ridge of high pressure will help clear skies over central Saskatchewan, western Manitoba and Manitoba Interlake regions tonight and Sunday morning,” Environment Canada wrote in a statement. “Temperatures are expected to moderate in the morning.

“Extreme cold puts everyone at risk.”
