clear skies

No clouds above

Clear skies describes weather conditions with no clouds or minimal cloud cover—open, unobstructed sky.

Pilots and meteorologists use the term literally: We're expecting clear skies through the weekend.

Figuratively, clear skies ahead suggests favorable conditions or an absence of problems: After months of uncertainty, it looks like clear skies ahead for the project.
