Extreme cold warnings remain in place for Regina and many portions of southern Saskatchewan Tuesday morning as a multi-day stretch of dangerous wind chills is expected to continue.
Most of the warned area will see wind chills at or below minus 40 on Tuesday, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said on its website.
