Hi res visible.  Some cloud cover creeping into the eye, yes.  Not a lot, but some.

This is a radar image from much earlier. It's cool that Puerto Rico is able to see this far out. In another bit of hurricane trivia, Hurricane Maria went directly into the hillside that has this radar. It needed to be rebuilt over a period of months!

Hurricane Beryl Discussion Number  17

The cloud pattern of Beryl has become a little less organized since 
the last reconnaissance aircraft left the storm near 17Z.  While 
the eyewall cloud tops have cooled, the eye has become ragged 
and less distinct inside the central dense overcast, and the 
overall cloud pattern is becoming elongated due to shear.  
Objective intensity estimates suggest that the hurricane has 
weakened a little in the past few hours, but the advisory intensity 
will be held at 135 kt until the arrival of the next aircraft 
missions near 00Z.

The initial motion is a quick 290/19 kt.  A strong subtropical
ridge centered over the southern United States will continue to
steer Beryl west-northwestward to westward across the central and
northwestern Caribbean for the next few days, and this motion
should bring the center near Jamaica in about 24 h, near the Cayman 
Islands in about 36 h, and near the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico 
around 60-72 h.  After that, there remains a significant spread in 
the track guidance when Beryl emerges into the southwestern Gulf of 
Mexico, due mainly to model differences in the strength and 
location of a break in the subtropical ridge over the southern 
United States.  The GFS shows a more northerly motion during this 
time, while the ECMWF and UKMET forecast a more westerly motion.  
This part of forecast track lies between these extremes near the 
consensus models and has a higher than normal amount of uncertainty.

The intensity forecast also continues to be uncertain.  The models 
are in good agreement that Beryl should steadily weaken during the 
next 60 h due to shear and dry air entrainment, but the models 
show a slower rate of weakening than previously.  Based on this, 
the new intensity forecast calls for Beryl to still be a major 
hurricane when it passes near Jamaica, at or near major hurricane 
strength when it passes the Cayman Islands, and still be a 
hurricane when it reaches the Yucatan Peninsula.  This part of the 
forecast lies near the upper edge of the intensity guidance. There 
remains considerable spread in the intensity guidance when Beryl 
emerges over the Gulf of Mexico, although there is somewhat better 
agreement that the cyclone  will intensify some while crossing the 
Gulf.  The new forecast follows this trend and lies near the middle 
of the spread-out intensity guidance.

Any recent microwave passes? That's a really tiny eye

Mission 12 is lower

Max sonde winds and sfc winds are reasonable compared to the ones over 200mph earlier.

We had these blobs off storms the last few years, usually at earlier stages and I don't think they help in formation. Not sure of its effect in a mature storm.

By the way the eye looks angry.
