clouded over

Sky turned dark

Clouded over describes a sky that has become overcast, with clouds blocking the sun: The morning started bright, but it clouded over by noon.

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