clouds over
Gets gray above
Clouds over describes the sky becoming overcast, as clouds move in to block the sun: It was sunny this morning, but it's clouding over now.
Figuratively, a face or expression clouds over when cheerfulness gives way to worry or displeasure: Her face clouded over when she heard the news.
