swimmer. this morning, divers recovered the 25-year-old's body. officials say a rip current is responsible. it's a powerful flow of water away from the shore and can move faster than an olympic swimmer. rip currents can form at any beach with any breaking wave. >> very scary. >> this whole summer is rough. you have to be a good swimmer. >> the season has definitely been worse. >> reporter: this is a lifeguard's sixth season watching for swimmers at jones beach saying more people are getting caught up in rip currents this summer. >> they're a lot stronger. >> reporter: the national weather service says it's been an active but not an extreme season. active, because persistent high pressure off the coast drives wind waves to the north while distant storms create ocean swells moving northwest. the combination creates rough surf and the higher the surf, the greater the frequency and intensity of rip currents. best way to keep from getting caught up, look for them from the shore. the water will look dirty and

muddy like in this photo and at the surface of a rip current the water looks calm but at the side are the waves. here's the rich current. what are the signs to look for that you're getting caught up in a rip current. >> you will feel yourself being sucked backwards even if you're just standing in one. >> i went sideways so i wouldn't get dragged into the water. >> reporter: jake did exactly the right thing. as soon as you can, start moving parallel to shore by foot or stroke. this weekend there is a moderate risk of rip currents with the potential to upgrade to high risk. now, lifeguard maggie johns said in her time here they have only once ever shut down the beach to swimmers and that was during a hurricane. from jones beach, vanessa murdoch, cbs 2 news. let's bring in lonnie quinn now to take a closer look at the rip current risk this weekend. lonnie. >> you just heard vanessa say that the national weather service has issued a moderate risk for rip currents along all of our beaches. you also heard her say you

need the waves to create the rich current. if it's a day where the waves are small it's not a big risk. the bigger the waves, the more it pushes that watered onshore and it rushes out in the channel. let me show you how i see things. the rip current risk is out there for a reason due to the storm that's going to miss us. we are not going to get any rain. it's part enough away that we stay -- it's far enough away that we stay dry but the seas churn up. the water pushed onshore, think about it, it has nowhere to go, it goes back out in a single channel and it's that single channel that's the rip current but overall, outside looking weekend. vortex satellite and radar clouds offshore. there's really associated with the storm itself. it's that storm that's going to churn the seas up but again it's not in our area. we'll feel it in terms of the rip currents but the skies overhead look to be pretty nice out there. here's how i see things working out tomorrow.

sun a few clouds pleasant day 84 degrees. it's a beach day but you have to be careful as you make your way into the surf. it doesn't mean you can't go into the water. you can swim parallel to the shore. you can also keep your calm and let it drag out and once you're free of it, you'll feel yourself being free of it, you can circumvent it and swim alongside of it. that's tomorrow's forecast. it's nice looking. this was a weekend that we were kind of hedging about it at the beginning of the week but now that storm is somebody else's storm. it's well out to sea. it will affect our rip current risk but overall it's a nice weekend. back to you. now to the latest developments on the legionnaire's outbreak in the bronx. state health department teams are heading to the south bronx to help collect and test samples from cooling centers where the bacteria can flourish. so far, at least one lawsuit has been filed. ten people have died. the number of those infected has grown to 101. the city ordered all buildings with cooling towers to be

don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. your twitter account -- >> only rosie o'donnell. [ laughter ] [ applause and cheers ] >> no, it wasn't. >> reporter: trump may have gotten some laughs for that answer but rosie o'donnell didn't find it very funny. she tweeted, try explaining that to your kids. trump was asked what he would say if democrats charged that he is part of the so-called war on women. >> i think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. i have been -- [ applause and cheers ] [ applause and cheers ] >> i have been challenged by so many people and i don't frankly have time for total political correctness. and to be honest with you, this country doesn't have time either. >> reporter: some voters say that makes sense. >> what i liked about trump is he doesn't seem like he is rehearsed. he just says it the way it is and i like that. >> reporter: but would candidate trump face a gender gap at the polls? we got a mixed reaction on trump for president. >> i'm not quite sure. it's just the beginning. >> i do have respect for the man. >> would i vote for him? probably not. but, um, he could be making some valid points.

the problem is the circus is getting in the way of the points. >> reporter: some polls declared trump the clear loser in the debate. others had him winner. trump said i'm very proud of my great performance tonight. i'm not a debater, i'm a winner! trump loved his performance. >> who did win this thing? depending what you read it could have been marco rubio, kasich down the line. >> there were so-called winners and losers. what's interesting though is nobody talking about the first debate which were the seven undercard members including one woman carly fiorina. not only have pundits said she did very well, they also say she polled well with republican focus groups. so it could be that she can be moving on up with the other ten guys. we shall see. >> meantime, hillary clinton's name was mentioned quite a few times. >> it appears according to those focus groups that every time her name was mentioned and the candidate hit her he did very well. >> among republican voters. >> yes. >> right. >> so. >> so this is the first of what how many dozen debate?

weekends this year versus last year. i want to give you one man's opinion. that one man would be me. here's the deal. weekends last year i rated them out of ten. june 7 out of 10. cloud cover and rain. weekends eight out of 10 july last year. august 5 out of 10 the bulk of rain and more cloud cover last year. this year, all right, june wasn't all that banner around here. six out of 10 we got some good rain in june and july, a nine out of ten. you thought of the storm in july but it was a weekday storm. i'm talking again just weekends. july you were nine out of ten. this is just one guy's opinion on things. but weekends this year, thumbs up out there. just beautiful! taking a look at the vortex satellite and radar, it's quiet with a deck of clouds offshore not going to be, you know, retrograding mean it's not going to go in reverse and come back into the area. we thought maybe that was going to be the case. not going to happen.

it will continue to push to the east and northeast. not a problem. there's our air mass. it's mild and dry. as you go through this weekend, i will say on the back side of that high pressure system there's some wet weather. you see around the western fringes of michigan. monday into tuesday, that's when i think we could see some measurable rain around here but until then, i think it's a good run. here's how we see it. tonight mild, quiet, 67 degrees. as you look at your saturday planner 9:00 in the morning you wake up 75 degrees. feels like 74. notice the feels-like temperatures not a story because the humidity is low. skies look good basically talking a sun/cloud mix with the emphasis definitely on the sunshine. sunday high temperature 84 degrees. a similar setup there. look, there will be some clouds out there. i don't want to, you know, tout this weekend as being cloud-free. there's going to be some clouds but more sun than anything else. monday 83. tuesday 82. and it's monday into tuesday again that's where you could see the storms kick in that would put more rain into the rain bucket but across the board all 7 days, the highest

temperature is 84. [ simultaneous speakers ] >> is this a test? >> yes, it is. >> you're right though the weekends have been amazing. >> just been so nice. >> loving it. >> sometimes you get bummed out when you don't have the good weekends. but knock on plexiglass, this year -- >> great time to celebrate a birthday this weekend. >> the who is celebrating? >> anybody we know? >> somebody getting older?

>> reporter: steve still remembers how his son used to howl from the pain of his chronic ear infections. >> they kept him up at night crying through the night. >> reporter: steve says the doctor gave him medication including prescription ear drops that silenced the suffering. >> we found a combination of remedies worked best combining antibiotics to fight the underlying infection, painkillers such as benzocaine to treat the pain. >> reporter: but that ingredient is now the target of an fda warning which says ear droppings with benzocaine can lead to dangerous side effects even fatal in one case where a baby was given the drops despite warnings not to use an in infants younger than one. the anesthetic is one of six drugs that are allowed by regulators for certain medicines. but they were never evaluated by the fda for use in ear drops. over the years those medicines have been used a lot. and the fda is simply pulling the medical community back in to say wait a minute. there can be serious complications of these medicines. >> reporter: the fda is

clamping down on companies that make and sell 16 different prescription drops for ear pain and swelling but weren't approved by the fda. this pharmacist is pulling these ear drops and the fda say manufacturers have to stop making them. >> now i can't even say that it's not going to harm you. >> reporter: the fda says patients should return drops with ingredients on the warning list and ask for a substitute drug. guidelines recommend treating ear pain with over-the-counter pain medicine and not using antibiotics unless your child has a high fever or there's a fluid build-up and discharge in the middle ear. dr. max gomez, cbs 2 news. >> medicine labels don't list whether or not they are fda- approved. we did put a link to the fda's website so you can search for specific medication. that's it for us here at 5:00. we'll see you again at 11:00. the news at 6:00 starts right now. captions by: caption colorado
