With the combination of cold and the wind, this Friday into Saturday is shaping up to be the coldest winter event folks in the Maritimes have experienced in many years.
Extreme cold is on the way for the Maritimes Friday night and Saturday.The Maritimes are no stranger to blasts of Arctic air during the months of January, February and into March. This is Canada, this is winter.
With temperatures set to drop into the mid –20s and low –30s and strong winds expected to gust from 60 to 80 km/h, wind chill values will reach dangerous levels across the Maritimes Friday night and Saturday. Environment Canada has issued weather statements across the Maritimes, including extreme cold warnings for northern and central New Brunswick.
For context, the last time we had a similar event was February 2015. During that Arctic air outbreak, we experienced wind chill values drop into the –30 to –35 range across much of Nova Scotia, P.E.I. and New Brunswick.We have to go back nearly 20 years to January 2004 to find the last time the wind chill dipped below –35 in the Halifax Metro area. Wind chill values dropped to -40 in Charlottetown and Saint John the same year.
