Despite the warming trend, April is known to be one of the windiest months in North Dakota, with gusts that can impact daily life and travel. Snowfall becomes less frequent, but occasional snow showers or late-season storms are not uncommon.

The state-wide consistency in weather remains, with no substantial climatic differences between cities. However, western and south-central rivers, along with their tributaries, begin to drain into the Missouri River, while eastern and north-central ones drain into the Red River, reflecting the geographical division of the state.

Though April is a transitional month, the blend of lingering winter conditions with the emergent spring warmth makes it unique. The landscape starts to transform, with renewed growth and vitality replacing the snow-covered plains.
