An arctic airmass over northern B.C. will bring temperatures between near minus 30 and minus 40 degrees Celsius.
These temperatures combined with northerly winds up to 20 km/h will generate cold wind chill values of minus 40 to minus 45.
The cold wind chill is forecast to last until Saturday morning when temperatures begin to moderate.
