Latest update to the day 1 outlook has shifted the slight risk area slightly east in North Carolina.

...Western New England/eastern New York to the Carolinas...
Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to continue developing into this afternoon, largely east of the Appalachian crest, and particularly near/east of a surface trough analyzed from eastern New York south to central North Carolina.
Moderate, deep-layer westerly/southwesterly flow aloft resides across the area, which -- given the very moist/destabilizing airmass near and east of the aforementioned surface trough -- will contribute to weakly organized storms, and some potential for upscale growth into bands of convection. Locally gusty/potentially damaging winds will be the primary risk with the strongest storms through the afternoon, though hail will also be possible. Risk should diminish into the evening hours with the onset of diurnal cooling.
Was just getting ready to post this. RAH said the first round could keep the second round from being worse east of US 1. I wonder if that's still the case. Or maybe we'll just get one round now.
