A period of very cold wind chills is expected.
Extremely cold wind chill values between minus 40 and minus 45 are expected to continue this morning.
Wind chill values will moderate by Monday afternoon, although extreme cold wind chills will return tonight 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.
Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill.
To quote Johnny Nash, “it’s gonna be a bright, sun-shiny day” this Monday, but that’s because we’re under the influence of an Arctic high, and that Arctic high is also funnelling in bitterly cold air from Siberia: in Yakutsk, it’s what Sakha would call balmy at -36. The rest of the week doesn’t offer much in the way of relief, as daytime highs will hang around the low minus-teens and into the -20s—a full 15 degrees below normal—and lows tickling the -30s late in the week.
