Environment Canada and Climate Change has issued extreme cold warnings for nearly all regions of Alberta as wind chill values of upward of minus 50 are possible.

The warnings are expected to remain in place into next week for most of the province and potentially into the new year in northern Alberta.

In Calgary, the forecasted high temperature for Boxing Day is minus 25 C and the high for Monday is expected to be minus 27 C.

As of Christmas Day afternoon, extreme cold warnings are in place for the following areas:

Albertans are encouraged to dress for the weather and avoid prolonged outdoor activity as the frigid conditions can lead to frost bite or hypothermia.

Pet owners should avoid unnecessarily exposing their animals to the elements and to monitor all outdoor activities.
