Expected wind chill in parts of Ontario
The weather alert is in place for all of Northwestern Ontario, from Superior West to Fort Severn.
Wind chill temperatures up to -45 are expected for Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Monday night, but the cold doesn't stop there.
Environment Canada says that it could feel like -40 with wind chill for every night of the next week in parts of Northwestern Ontario.
"Cover up. Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill," the Extreme Cold Alert says.
"Watch for colour changes on fingers and toes, pain, numbness, a tingling sensation, or swelling. If present, move indoors and begin warming."
Toronto is not included in Environment Canada's warning, but the city has issued its own Extreme Cold Weather alert in advance of frigid temperatures tonight.
