Beachgoers urged to watch for rip currents as temperatures rise and more people head into the water

Meteorological spring arrives this weekend, and with the rise in temperatures more people are expected at U.S. beaches. And as more people head into the water, officials are warning beachgoers to be aware of rip currents. Spokesperson for the American Lifeguard Association Wyatt Werneth joined FOX Weather on Thursday to explain what a rip current is, how to spot one and how to stay safe.
