High pressure is moving over to be replaced by a low pressure area offshore. The next storm system (you can’t see it yet) will be setting up offshore to push through over the weekend to bring at least a slight chance of rain back. There will be a short break without rain and then another storm system will brig the chance of rain back on Wednesday.
