move south. Arctic air will move into Central Alberta late Monday
And remain in place into Wednesday.

centimetres of snow and winds of 20 to 30 km/h. Extreme wind chills 
of minus 40 or less are possible through much of northern and
Eastern Alberta Monday night and Tuesday. A wind chill warning is in
