After a weekend of wild windy weather that included rain and freezing rain, a bitterly cold arctic air mass is moving into the province.
An extreme cold warning has been issued for areas that include extreme cold warning for Saskatoon, Regina, Martensville, Outlook, Watrous, the Battlefords, Unity, Maidstone, Fort Qu’appelle, Carlyle, Estevan, Weyburn, Milestone, and Yorkton.

These dangerous wind chill values will redevelop on tuesday night followed by gradual improvement beginning Wednesday.
