After a week that featured a couple of record high temperatures, metro Atlanta should cool off a bit during the weekend.

A cold front now in the Midwest is expected to bring some cooler weather with it.

“Big changes are indeed on the way,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Katie Walls said Saturday morning.
