The agency said better air quality is generally expected over southern Manitoba on Thursday. The risk of poor air quality will continue into Thursday in northern Manitoba, particularly near active wildfires.
The alert also continues for much of northwestern Ontario, where poor air quality is expected for the rest of the week.
Otherwise, Winnipeg and the southeast will see daytime highs rise to the mid-20s Wednesday, with more clouds than sunshine. Sky conditions may also be hazy at times.
The southwest will be slightly cooler, with a good chance of showers or a thunderstorm in the southwest around Brandon, while Dauphin will enjoy a mix of sun and cloud.
Localized smoke could waft into Brandon, while Dauphin will be hazy.

Wildfire south of Lytton, B.C., leads to evacuation alert
A wildfire around 10 kilometres south of Lytton, B.C., has led to an evacuation alert for five properties in the Fraser Canyon on Monday night. The Cantilever Bar wildfire was discovered late Monday afternoon on the west side of the Fraser River, and it is visible from the Trans-Canada Highway. It grew quickly and covered an area of 150 hectares as of 10 p.m. PT on Monday, with the B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS) deploying three helicopters and three ground attack crews to the site. Around 9:30 p.m. PT, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) issued an evacuation alert for five properties along Spencer Road South. Residents have been told to be ready to leave at a moment's notice as the wildfire, which is suspected to have been caused by human activity, approaches. It was sparked on the same day a heat warning was issued for the Fraser Canyon, which includes Lytton, as Environment Canada says that maximum temperatures in the region are expected to hit between 35 C and 37 C between Tuesday and Thursday. The BCWS said in a provincial situation report that above seasonal temperatures will be seen throughout B.C. this week, with the hottest areas set to be in the southern third of the province. "In addition, there is a significant chance of dry lightning that could impact nearly all regions of the province throughout the week," the service says. "This combination of rising temperatures, fuel drying and dry lightning increases the probability of new wildfires starting."
