cloud over

Sky turns gray

To cloud over is for the sky to become overcast, filling with clouds that block the sun: It was sunny this morning, but it's starting to cloud over.

Figuratively, a face or expression clouds over when it shifts from pleasant to troubled or angry: Her expression clouded over when she heard the news.
