Airmass Storms in FL

Focused on airmass thunderstorms this afternoon in Florida (Melbourne CWA) with the main threat being downburst winds. Took a quick glane at upper level water vapor imagery to analyze the synoptic environment. Noticed a shear axis between the drier air from the upper low moving south and the moist air moving west from Bermuda. Can also see some outflow from an airmass thunderstorm along the eastern coast of the CWA. The shear axis could help enhance lift over the next few hours (have noticed this feature over FFC quite often and it often enhances convective coverage.
