In the current geologic setting off the East Coast, there is no reason to believe that one could form. Although not impossible because the forces that can trigger volcanoes are not entirely understood, it is highly unlikely one could form. The reasons for this, unlike the pacific coast there is no active subduction on the East Coast to create volcanoes and drive a magmatic production process. There is also no known active hotspot along the East Coast. The problem for a volcano to form in this region goes back to there, doesn't seem to be any way for the East Coast of the United States geologically to sustain any form of magma production that could cause a volcano.
