STONINGTON, Conn. (WFSB) - While Hurricane Erin is not expected to make landfall, folks in Connecticut are keeping a careful eye on the storm.

Hurricane Erin is expected to stay at sea, turning away from southern New England later this week. But it will bring big waves and strong rip currents to the Atlantic coast.

Thankfully, Long Island gives the Connecticut coast a buffer.

The worst of what Connecticut will see is farther east near the mouth of the Sound.

As of now, the Cross Sound Ferry is on schedule.

Marinas Eyewitness News checked in with say they are keeping their fingers crossed the storm stays away. They say the storm is far enough offshore that they don’t have many preps.

At Sunbeam Fleet Charter Fishing in Waterford, Captain Bob Wadsworth says plans are changing tomorrow.
