The mercury is dropping in Saskatchewan.
Just after 3:30 p.m. Friday, Environment Canada issued extreme cold warnings for a number of areas in the province, including the cities of Regina and Saskatoon.
The weather service said an Arctic high is to settle in the province overnight, resulting in bitterly cold temperatures.
“Overnight lows dipping close to -30 C will combine with winds up to 15 (kilometres per hour) overnight into early Saturday morning to produce dangerous wind chill values of -40 or lower at times,” the warning said.
“The extreme cold will abate through the day on Saturday as a push of warmer air enters the province.”
Environment Canada warned people about frostbite and reminded them to keep emergency supplies in their vehicle, including blankets and jumper cables.
