UNDATED (AP) _ The National Weather Service says unseasonably warm weather that pushed temperatures into the 60s and 70s across the state yesterday will continue through New Year's Day.

A southwest flow aloft will keep a shallow layer of moisture over the state. That will create a slight chance of showers in southeastern Oklahoma today. Skies will be mostly cloudy with highs in the 60s and 70s.

Skies will be mostly cloudy tonight, and there's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows will be mostly in the 40s and 50s.

New Years Day will be mostly cloudy and unseasonably warm. There is a slight chance of showers across most of the state. Highs will be in the 50s and 60s.
