The clear skies promised little rain, but that could change within hours.

The skies were clear, and promised to remain so.

Rain still fell in a steady drizzle, and the sky promised no improvement.

It was cold and wet and the skies promised a heavy rain.

The clear skies promised perfect illumination for the night's activity.

Beth grew more certain as the sky promised dawn.

The cloudless sky promised a hot day to come.

The morning air was cold, but clear sky over the hills promised a hot day.

The sun was cool, but the sky promised a good day.

Westward the sun was low on the horizon and the red sky promised another fine day tomorrow.
