An Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft confirmed that the circulation is now well-defined, and…

Due to dry air and a fairly broad wind field, Beryl has been unable to rapidly intensify over the Gulf of Mexico thus far, but some additional intensification appears likely in the last few hours before landfall….
