Extreme wind chills this weekend. This is a warning that extreme wind chill conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions. Listen for updated statements.
Bitterly cold Arctic air has settled over Northern Alberta. Cold temperatures combined with brisk northwest winds will produce wind chill values as cold as minus 50. Conditions will gradually improve Saturday morning in the Edmonton, Grande Prairie and Peace River regions as winds diminish under a cold Arctic ridge. Eastern Alberta may see wind chill values below minus 40 throughout the weekend. Temperatures will remain well below normal this weekend across Northern Alberta. At these extreme wind chill values frostbite on exposed skin may occur in less than 5 minutes.
Brisk. That's what we call it here. 'Brisk northwest winds.' Oh, and also, see how it says conditions will improve this morning as the 'brisk winds' diminish under a 'cold Arctic ridge'? Does 'brisk' > 'cold'?
It's the kind of weather you wait for so that you can wear your scarf and hat and mittens that all match. Or maybe I'm the only one who does that.
