April 6 in Fargo
Weather forecasts run out after about two weeks. For any date further out than that, the honest answer isn't a single number — it's the range Fargo actually delivers on this date, and how often.
On April 6, Fargo, ND typically reaches 46°F, but has run anywhere from 33°F to 65°F in eight years out of ten. About 71% of April 6s see no measurable precipitation.
The odds on April 6
Odds computed from the last 30 years (1997–2026).
Where this comes from: 843 daily observations from FARGO HECTOR INTL AP, covering 1970–2026. We pool every day within 7 days of April 6 — a single calendar date has only about 56 readings, far too few to place a 10th percentile you'd want to trust.
Why it's not a plain average: A climatology computed straight across 1970–2026 describes the middle of that period, not today, so as a statement about the present it runs cold. We fit a trend on year and shift each observation to 2026 before taking the range. The probabilities use the last 30 years instead — shifting a temperature along a trend is well defined, shifting “did it rain” is not.
What this is not: Not a forecast. It is what Fargo, ND has actually done on this date, which is the only defensible answer once you're past the two-week horizon where real forecasts stop. Data: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily.
