Is it normal for 6061 T6 to tarnish in humid air?

I noticed today when in the garage working on my CX5 that two of the pieces of 6061 angle on one of the fuselage sides is showing some tarnish with light dust on the metal. I wiped what I thought was just saw dust from my making form blocks, but when I wiped it off I noticed the tarnished area on the metal. Its been extremely humid here and I was just wondering if this is normal .
