(Minneapolis, MN) -- New data points to a warming climate throughout the state. According to Doctor Lee Frelich [[ FRAY'-lick ]] at the University of Minnesota, this year's early spring, a large number of tornadoes and a warm fall could be a sign of what's to come. Frelich says some events which are viewed as a "little bit extreme" right now might become the normal condition in a few decades. Frelich says the warming trend started during the last century and has accelerated in the last few decades.
