Clear, sunny and hot is the forecast for Thursday with high temperatures in the low-90s throughout northern Utah while the mercury is expected to rise into the upper-90s in the southern reaches of the state.

That typical summertime weather scenario also comes with "Green," or healthy air quality ratings statewide, too, according to the Utah Division of Environmental Quality.

Salt Lake City's high temperature for Thursday was expected to hit 98 degrees, up five degrees from Wednesday's forecast high; Ogden looked for 95 and 90 degrees, respectively; Provo 97 and 93; Logan 94 and 89; Wendover 96 and 93; Duchesne 87 and 86; Cedar City 91 and 89; St. George 102 and 99; and Moab 97 and 95 degrees.
