Voters turned down all three Douglas County ballot initiatives. Question 1, which came the closest to winning, will hurt the most.

The wind's up and the barometer's down and the clouds are peeking over the Sierra.
There's a 30 percent chance of rain showers today, according to the National Weather Service. The chance that it's going to breezy and much cooler is 100 percent. Today's high temperature is forecast to hit 66 and it's already 61 out, so wave to that as it passes. Temperatures behind the front are supposed to drop, with the high on Thursday going all the way up to 48. More weather is due Friday and Monday.
