After a string or days with record setting heat, the first of the two cold fronts this week will take the edge off the heat Tuesday.

"You can get moderately excited right now, and very excited for this weekend!" WWL TV Meteorologist Alexandra Cranford said.

Just... how?! Record high streak is now 8 days in a row, including every day this October so far. A cool front finally arrives tonight. @WWLTV #beon4 pic.twitter.com/oo9Yvh8Gmp

She says the first front will drop humidity a little lower and bring temperatures to where they belong for early October.

"Temperatures will start in the morning in the 60s and low 70s. Afternoon temperatures should only make it to about 84 which is much closer to average for this time of year."

Cranford says, however, after 60's and 70's in the morning Wednesday we heat up again into the upper 80s.

We climb back to around 90 Thursday.

The next front will be even strong for Saturday.

"Lows north around 63 and south around 66. Highs around 76," Cranford forecasts.

But wait, there's more.

"Models are showing Sunday morning may start around 50 north of the lake and 60 south of the lake."

Highs stay in the 70s, and humidity will be much lower too.
