After the weekend weather system moves through, southeast Saskatchewan will experience much colder temperatures.
A high-pressure ridge moving in will bring temperatures into the mid-minus double digits. "High temperatures will be in the mid-minus double digits, with lows into the -15°C to -20°C range," said Berg. These temperatures are well below the typical range for this time of year, which normally sees highs of around -2°C.
With wind chills potentially reaching -19°C, Berg is urging residents to take precautions. "Your skin might freeze within about 15 to 20 minutes or so at wind chills around or into the minus 20s," he warned.
He advises bundling up in layers and limiting skin exposure to avoid frostbite. Stay safe and prepared for the chilly week ahead.
