Valentine’s Day may give you a warm heart, but if you venture outside today….make sure you bundle up the rest of you. According to Environment Canada there is an Extreme Cold Warning in effect for:
- Niagara Falls – Welland – Southern Niagara Region
- St. Catharines – Grimsby – Northern Niagara Region
A period of very cold wind chills is expected. The coldest air of the season has settled across Southern Ontario for the weekend as a large arctic high pressure area moves slowly across the Great Lakes.
Extremely cold wind chills of between minus 30 to minus 40 are once again expected this morning as bitterly cold arctic air settles over the area.
Slow improvement of the wind chills is expected this afternoon as the strengthening February sun helps to moderate this frigid arctic airmass, with temperatures inching upward a few degrees.
Considerably milder weather will arrive on Family Day Monday with temperatures approaching normal values for this time of year.
