HOUSTON -- Temperatures around Houston have reached triple-digits for several days, but a cool down is on the way and weather from a tropical system will soon replace the scorching sun, KPRC Local 2 reported Monday.
"We could see as much as 3 to 5 inches of rain over the next couple of days," KPRC Local 2 meteorologist Anthony Yanez said.

The National Hurricane Center flew into an area of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico to see if it has a circulation and how strong the winds are to determine if it has reached tropical depression status.
"They flew this (Tuesday) and so far have said nothing about it. They haven't said what they have found, which probably indicates that they can't quite find a circulation on this. So, more than anything, it looks like we have a tropical disturbance that's going to continue to pull in the clouds and the rain toward the Houston area," KPRC Local 2 chief meteorologist Frank Billingsley said.
The disturbance is located about 525 miles east-southeast of Galveston and moving at 15 mph.
"It possibly could become Tropical Storm Erin in the next 24 hours," Yanez said.
The disturbance was forecasted to move into south Texas in the next few days.
"No matter if it forms or it doesn't form, we have the clouds on the way," Yanez said. "We have the cooler temperatures on the way."
Temperatures are expected to drop into the low- to mid-90s for the rest of the week. A 50 percent chance of rain was forecast for Wednesday increasing to a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms on Thursday.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 until Nov. 30.
"The peak part of the season for hurricanes is Aug. 15 to Sept. 15," Yanez said.
