Less than a day after a heavy snowfall warning was lifted, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued an extreme cold warning for Airdrie.
"Extremely cold wind chills near -40 are expected overnight and early Monday morning. Temperatures will moderate on Monday, but extreme cold may return Monday night," the warning stated.
Temperatures will moderate more substantially on Tuesday.
ECCC is reminding residents that extreme cold puts everyone at risk.
"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."
The warning is also in effect for Cochrane, Olds, and Sundre.
