Arctic outflow warning issued for North Coast

Environment Canada is forecasting strong arctic outflow winds and cold wind chill values for the North Coast.

That includes Kitimat, Stewart, and Terrace.

According to Environment Canada, arctic air has infiltrated the coast from the interior.

Strong winds will combine with low temperatures to give wind chill values between minus 20 and minus 25.
