Arctic air invades Central, Eastern Canada
 |
Central and Eastern Canada are bracing for a return of frigid weather as another Arctic air mass invades the region, bringing wind-chill warnings and plummeting temperatures.
Wind-chill warnings are in effect from northern Manitoba through northwestern Ontario, and in parts of central and western Quebec.
Temperatures in northern Manitoba are expected to feel like –50 C.
In Toronto, temperatures will drop steadily throughout the day, reaching a low of –21 C overnight..
The City of Toronto issued an extreme cold weather alert Monday, triggering additional services for the homeless.
"That Arctic air will be here for the next three to five days," said CBC meteorologist Jay Scotland. "Bitter cold is on the way. Not as cold as last time, but colder than normal."
Earlier this month, a polar vortex brought bitterly cold winds to parts of the U.S. and Canada.
In Toronto, the extreme chill led to flight delays and cancellations at Pearson airport, when a ground stop was issued to deal with the temperatures.
