An extreme cold warning will remain in place for one more night for most of eastern Saskatchewan from the north to just before the southern border.

Environment Canada said very cold wind chills or colder will redevelop Wednesday night in areas near the Manitoba border.

A low pressure system moving in from Alberta will bring warmer temperatures to the province on Thursday.

In the northeast, wind chill values will range between -45 to -50.

At extreme wind chill values of -40 frostbite on exposed skin may occur in less than 10 minutes. At values below -50 frostbite may occur in less than 5 minutes. Peter Quinlan / Skytracker

Frostbite can occur in less than 10 minutes at these values.
