If the high becomes a separate entity then there will be a trough over the Eastern US and recurving storms will be in abundance which would increase the risk to the Carolinas and Outer Banks but not necessarily further northward. The pattern they are calling for sounds a lot like 1988 which would be great for SE AZ because we had a long (June-October) monsoon and a very wet one.

based on the accuweather map i would think a huge high over the central states would cause a nw flow over the east coast with an offshore trough steering canes well out to sea. 1988 had no cane activity on or near the east coast
True Helen but we both live in SE VA..anything that comes in north of about Oregon Inlet can affect us too, although perhaps not too severely.
