While we've already experienced some pretty cold temperatures and wind chills lately, it's gotten a little worse!
Environment Canada has issued an extreme cold warning for the Dauphin - Russell - Roblin - Winnipegosis area. Wind chills in the -40 to -50 range are now expected, but things should get a little better as of Thursday afternoon. As well, relief from the cold is on the way next week as temperatures will be much warmer.
The current extreme weather is due to some chilly air mixed with a ridge of high pressure coming in from Saskatchewan.
As well as the towns mentioned above, the warning is in effect for:
The municipalities of Gilbert Plains; Grandview; Mossey River; Ethelbert; and the R.M.s of Lakeshore and Riding Mountain West.
