Week Ahead in Sandpoint: Farmers Market Finale, Election Forum, and Frost Tonight
Happy Monday, mountain friends — and cover those tomato plants, because the season's first widespread frost is on the way. The KOTX radar lit up this morning with a band of rain sweeping across the Inland Northwest, echoes stretching from the Spokane and Coeur d'Alene area north toward Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry. Behind it comes a sharp, clear night: the National Weather Service is calling for widespread frost after 1 a.m., with lows around 28 degrees in Sandpoint and 27 up at Schweitzer.

Good Sunday morning from the hill above Schweitzer. If you are waking up with us at The Village Overlook, take a look outside first, because winter is knocking on the mountain's door. Snow showers are dusting the upper elevations this morning at 32 degrees, feeling closer to 21 in the wind. The KOTX radar map shows a real fall front sweeping through, with widespread precipitation echoes stretching from Colville and Spokane through Coeur d'Alene and right over Sandpoint. Down in town it is raining, 44 degrees, with northeast gusts up to 37 miles per hour.

This morning's radar sweep showed a quiet panhandle — no precipitation on the map.
