Now, several meteorologists are saying that is a really good chance that we could see Alberto form early next week and possibly head for Louisiana.

Meteorologist Dylan Federico and Travis Herzog think that future weather models are showing that the storm will be pushed into Mexico but still be a big rain event for Texas and Louisiana.
