The Weather Network predicts that “bonafide Arctic air straight from Siberia” will begin to swoop into the Canadian Prairies on Friday and "the coldest temperatures on the continent" will rush in over the weekend.

On Sunday the coldest daytime highs will set in as parts of Alberta will struggle to get above -30 C.

On the other end of the spectrum, lows may fall as deep as -41 C.  

Edmonton is going to be in especially rough shape. In fact, the city hasn't seen this type of cold in nearly two decades.

This type of weather is really dangerous, so be sure to keep warm and avoid travel if possible.
