The air quality in Minnesota will continue to improve on Monday as wildfire smoke moves out of the state.

An air quality alert that lasted a record six days across the state has been canceled, according to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. At times, Minneapolis' air quality was among the worst in any of the world's major cities.

It'll be a short break for those in northern Minnesota, however. The pollution control agency says another alert will take effect at 1 a.m. Tuesday for the area near Two Harbors, Hibbing, Ely, Duluth and the Tribal Nations of Grand Portage and Fond du Lac. 

The air is expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups. The alert expires on Wednesday at noon. 

As the smoke moves out in the metro, expect highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s and light winds. Most of eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin will stay dry and partly sunny.

Spotty showers and isolated storms are possible overnight Wednesday in western and central Minnesota, with rainfall totals of up to half an inch possible in spots.

It gets humid as soon as Wednesday, and will get even muggier Thursday and Friday, with both days potentially hitting 90 or warmer.
