new this morning, one of those good news/bad news job reports just released by the labor department. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is here to break down all the numbers. tracie, good morning. >> good news and bad news in this one. the good news is, the unemployment rate went down just a tiny bit from 8.3% to 8.2%. but the bad news, and it's pretty big, there were only 120,000 new jobs created.

now, while that might sound like a lot, it's half the growth that we saw in february. it's the first time since october that we've seen that low of an amount. we've been on a roll for several months, 200,000 and over. and it's also significantly less than the economists had predicted. so there was a clear slow down in march and today you'll hear all the economists trying to figure out exactly why that was. some say weather had a lot to do with it. others say retail jobs from the month before. tended to slow down. but the bottom line, good news/bad news, smaller unemployment rate, but fewer jobs too. >> tracie potts, thank you very much. it is 6:22 right now. coming up, 15 minutes of uninterrupted news, including pennsylvania having no love for the home state nkcandidate. the lnnd o t the republican race for president just ahead. -dad, why are you getting that? -that's my cereal. is there a prize in there?

welcome back, everyone. it is 6:44, almost 6:45. christina loren back in. it's kind of appropriate. you see the big bright moon like an easter egg in the sky. >> yeah, big, bright easter egg you can get a clear shot of for the next hour or so. it's crystal clear out there this morning except we did find clouds. we had to go all the way up to the top of san bruno to find you these clouds, though. situated over the ocean, some puffy cumulus out there. crystal clear start making way to very cold morning. temperatures hovering above that freezing mark about everywhere in the north bay we have reporting right now. 33 degrees in napa, 34 in santa rosa, grab your coat, leave the umbrella at home. we'll talk about that in just a moment. but for today and tomorrow and the first half of sunday, high pressure stays in control, keeping things nice and mild in our skies mostly clear. it's going to be clear as a bell for the first part of today. sunny conditions, frosty start,

keep that in mind until about 8:00 a.m., tomorrow, we're going to hold on to the 70s. and sunday, keeping a few of the 70s in the mix as you kick off easter right here in the bay area. it'll be beautiful, especially if you have family friends coming in from out of town. as i said before, we might get a few showers up in the north bay. if that does happen, it'll be late in the day, probably around 6:00 p.m. and that will last that chance all the way through monday morning. but it's very slight. and i think sonoma county, 10% to 20% chance, that's it. sunday looking good across the bay area. especially inland, we'll hit 70 degrees that afternoon. but if you're going to be waking up early, all the hunters and hu huntresss. temperatures today in the 60s, 65 degrees in the valley, 65 in san jose, and you'll hit 60 in san francisco. up to 72 degrees tomorrow. if you want that rain as we are still running a deficit in terms of our annual rainfall totals, we've got that in the mix as we head through tuesday morning, another chance late thursday into friday of next week.

off of the freeway moving smoothly past the area. and a good alternate if you are using central this morning. no problems out of the altamont pass, westbound a smooth drive, just 14 minutes here heading out of the area, the sierra commute making it a little -- well, more busy. as you come across the afternoon hours, folks may get a morning start so that might mean a little easier drive getting out of the area this afternoon. keep that in mind. and we're looking to the south bay with no major incidents so far. and spring break ending up for a lot of these school districts. we had that lighter flow overall this week, no slowing through the south. we'll see restoration to that traffic flow monday, folks. great news for monday. >> thank you very much, mike. it is 6:48 right now. new this morning, a 24-hour vigil is underway in oakland for the victims of last monday's deadly shooting rampage at oikos university. members of making oakland better are gathered near the oakland coliseum to honor the dead and injured. they're burning candles and collecting flowers and cards. the vigil actually started at

looking into the possibility this could be gang-related. neighbors say just before 11:00, they heard a commotion. >> and there was a lot of screaming. before prior to that, that's what the neighbors said, they heard arguing and it got quiet for a half an hour and then all of a sudden a lot of screaming. >> reporter: neighbors also telling us they saw a man running from the scene wearing a dark-colored hoodie. again, this is on central near dusterberry. you'd probably want to stay away from the area at least another hour or so. they're saying now it's light, they're going to take another look around for possible evidence. reporting live in fremont, christie smith, "today in the bay." today marks three weeks since morgan hill teen sierra lamar disappeared. despite numerous tips, there's no sign of the high school sophomore. live at burnett elementary in morgan hill where volunteers will meet tomorrow for yet another search. they're not giving up hope, bob. >> no, they're

case is to bring her home safely alive. >> reporter: if you're interested in helping find sierra, you can come here to burnett elementary roughly between 8:00 and 1:00 tomorrow. bring your photo i.d., be at least 18 years old and you want to address appropriately because they are going to send you out there in the elements. you want to wear long pants, sturdy shoes, that kind of thing. alex smith says he'll be out here with his teammates. this will be the second time that smith has participated in the search for sierra lamar. bob redell, "today in the bay." 6:52, and happening now, protesters gathering outside the lawrence livermore lab. live pictures we bring you this morning as they are rallying against the lab's role in the development of nuclear weapons. it's organized by the peace institute in the livermore conversion project. last year, protesters blocked the entrance to the lab leading to 33 arrests. right now, decision 2012. this morning, rick santorum not

passed through the house of representatives, however. the court heard three days of arguments on the bill last week and seemed skeptical over provisions of the law. the debate continues and the decision is expected by july. laura, a marine may receive a less than honorable discharge this morning after criticizing president obama on his facebook page. the marine corps board of administrations says sergeant gary stein has committed misconduct and should be dismissed. stein's lawyers argue the nine-year marine veteran was expressing his own personal views and exercising his first amendment rights. the military has a strict policy against its members criticizing the commander in chief. the abandoned japanese ship is now at the bottom of the ocean. the u.s. coast guard pounded the ship with cannon fire until it exploded and sank in the gulf of alaska. last year's devastating tsunami ripped the ship, setting it adrift across the pacific ocean. they decided to sink the ship to
