An air quality alert remains in effect for the entire state of Minnesota on Monday.

Smoke from Canadian wildfires prompted the alert, which is set to expire at 9 a.m. Tuesday. The northern half of the state will likely see the worst air quality.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency said the smoke should begin dispersing from west to east Monday evening into Tuesday morning.

Highs on Monday will be in the mid-80s, with dew points dipping slightly. 

Northern Minnesota could be in for some storms Monday night.  

Tuesday and Wednesday will bring much lower humidity, with partly cloudy skies and high temperatures around 82 degrees.

The humidity returns Thursday, along with more storm chances.

There's a chance for rain on Friday and Saturday.
