Environment Canada has issued an extreme cold weather warning for a large swath of southern Ontario and Quebec, as frigid temperatures are expected to hit late Thursday night. A blast of cold Arctic air will reach southern Ontario in the evening, lasting through Friday and into early Saturday, Environment Canada said.

The weather agency said a strong cold front is expected to cause temperatures to plummet to -30 C with the wind chill in Toronto. Temperatures in areas such as Ottawa are expected to hit -40 C or -45 C with the wind chill on Friday.

Toronto on Friday is expected to see a high of -13 C with a wind chill of -30 C in the morning and -23 C in the afternoon. By Saturday, temperatures should begin to ease. Environment Canada forecasts a high of -4 C.

Environment Canada says frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with a wind chill. The federal weather agency also warns the health risks of this cold weather are greater for young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and those without proper shelter.
