South Windsor’s Heritage Day, which was scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 3, has been canceled due to the weather.

As far as Joaquin is concerned, Connecticut Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) Dora B. Schriro said during a media conference call Friday morning that with several weather models indicating that Joaquin will remain an ocean storm, “for us in Connecticut that’s a good thing. There may be some possible ocean swells and rip currents on southeast facing coasts.”

Schirro added, “We do not expect Joaquin to have major impact on Connecticut. If the forecast should change, we are at the ready to change.”
