I would think it would, (no pun intended LOL!) What species is it ? Elm seems to dry down relatively quick, I've processed all kinds of that, with a little punk in it, to fresh or dying or just died, small and large chunks, stacked and top covered, dried in a couple of months, some moisture here and there, but that stuff is notorious for holding lots of water.
Black cherry with the sap wood, even if punked, will dry quickly if stacked, I deal with a lot of that and fresh stuff as well, larger chunks take longer, but it will check up quickly.
I think you are ahead by open air stacking, and a cover on top.
I have 3 cord of small diameter, logs in my driveway right now, same thing been down awhile, but once processed this week, it'll be plenty dry when it gets cold.
I split a cord of fresh elm last September 27th, single stacked it high, put a cover on the top, it dried nicely, I could burn it by mid December. I think a symmetrical stack works the best for dry down, not to worry, you'll more than likely be fine with what you have.
