The easterly component should be coming to an end soon. The trough axis to the west is mostly north/south now.
The "eye" we are seeing is probably not evident at the surface yet (as the beam is shooting into the midlevels of the system), but it's the beginning of something.

Here's an interesting tidbit. I went to Wunderground and checked the winds for Isle of Palms just NE of Charleston - its in the main convective band coming down from the north.
Winds were 3mph, gusting to 7.

Georgetown, SC (up the coast a bit further): Winds of 3mph.
Myrtle Beach (near projected landfall): Winds of 17mph, gusts to 28.
Looks like a lot of the stronger winds are out from the center in that large band, ahead and to the right of the center.
