'Dangerous cold' coming to  Canada, Alberta weather forecast looks  chilly.calgary-in-the-winter.webp
Subzero temperatures of -40 degrees are expected  across the  Prairies.
The weather forecast  for Alberta is  set to take a chilly turn, with a polar vortex sweeping across parts of Canada.  Parts of Alberta are bracing for temperatures as low as -31 degrees this weekend —  oh my!
According to The Weather Network (TWN), this is shaping up to be  "one of the most  visible and widespread Arctic  fires in North America since  2014." So it's time for Canadians to  brace for a  bitter cold snap.
An Arctic air mass  is hitting the Prairies, bringing  "much colder than normal temperatures" to the  region as it moves  across Canada.
TWN is warning that the Prairies are in for  a "bitter cold," with  temperatures as low as -40 degrees this weekend. Frostbite and hypothermia are risks  in such conditions, so bundle up and take  the necessary precautions.
The cold  doesn't stop  there: it's expected to  spread across the country.  In some  areas, including the Prairies and parts of Ontario,  temperatures could  drop to  -30 degrees and even  reach -40 degrees with wind  chills.
In Edmonton, the forecast  for the next seven days calls for a  very cold weekend with temperatures hovering around  -30 degrees. Temperatures should then rise slightly at the  beginning of the  week. Calgary will  have slightly less intense weather,  although temperatures will  sometimes reach -27 degrees  over the  weekend.
Don't forget to layer up and take extra precautions during this cold  snap.
