A surge of Arctic air is set to move into northwestern New Brunswick tonight, with wind chills potentially reaching -30 degrees Celsius. Environment Canada has issued a yellow cold warning for the affected areas, which include Woodstock and Carleton County in the south, extending to Campbellton and the eastern part of Restigouche County in the north.

The warning also encompasses Edmundston and regions along the northern border of Maine. Yellow warnings indicate moderate, localized short-term impacts expected from the weather, according to Environment Canada.

The frigid temperatures are anticipated to persist into Friday morning. Residents are urged to take precautions against the extreme cold. Dressing in layers is recommended to help prevent frostbite and hypothermia.

As the Arctic air mass settles in, it is crucial for individuals to stay informed about the weather conditions and to prepare accordingly for the cold snap.
