A prolonged period of very cold wind chills is expected. What: Wind chill values near minus 45. When: Tonight through early next week. Where: South Klondike Highway and Haines Road. Remarks: An Arctic ridge of high pressure will bring very cold conditions to southern Yukon. Strong winds combined with frigid temperatures will give extreme windchill values. ### Extreme cold puts everyone at risk. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to YTstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #YTStorm. For more information about the alerting program, please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/environment/weather/severeweather/weather-alerts/colour-coded-alerts.

A multi-day episode of gusty outflow winds giving occasional poor visibility in blowing snow. Where: South Klondike Highway and Haines Road. When: Now through Tuesday. Additional Information: Strong outflow winds will persist over the next several days as arctic air from the Yukon makes its way out onto the coast. ### Travel will likely be hazardous due to near-zero visibility. Blowing snow advisories are issued when widespread poor visibility in blowing snow is expected. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
