4:21 AM CST Monday 15 February 2021 Environment Canada
A period of severely cold wind chills continues.
An Arctic ridge of high pressure has allowed for a very cold air mass to settle over southern Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba.
Extreme cold values of -40 to -45 continue across southern Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba this morning.
Multiple areas over southern Saskatchewan will see the end of these extreme cold warnings today. However, extreme cold conditions will return again Monday night into Tuesday morning for parts of eastern Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba.
7:57 AM CST Sunday 14 February 2021 Environment Canada
Extreme cold values of -40 to -50 have returned again this morning, with light winds and temperatures near -35 and colder forecast across most of southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

A period of severely cold wind chills continues.
Extreme cold will persist for a couple more days.
An Arctic ridge of high pressure has allowed for a very cold air mass to settle over southern Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba.
Light winds and morning temperatures of -35 and colder, will once again bring extreme wind chill values between -40 and -50 across most of southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan this morning. Wind chills will moderate during the day today, but wind chills of minus 40 to minus 50 are expected to return tonight.
The bitterly cold air will remain over the Prairies through the weekend.
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.
Dress warmly. Dress in layers that you can remove if you get too warm. The outer layer should be wind resistant.
If it's too cold for you to stay outside, it's too cold for your pet to stay outside.
