The upper-level low south of Beryl is undercutting Beryl's southern cloud structure. This is helping to weaken the cyclone as it traverses the Yucatan. Beryl is forecast to strengthen back to a Cat-1 as it makes its approach along the Mexican-Texas border or points north or there.

Below are some of the intensity models suggesting 

Cat-1 or 2 making landfall along the Texas coast. 

Excess rainfall outlook Slight risk
