Grey skies are a frequent, repeating symbol appearing on sixteen different cards in the well-known Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot artwork.
The exact same symbols won't necessarily appear in all, non-Rider Waite decks, but a large number of modern Tarot sets often include variations of the same, well-known symbols.
Here's What grey skies indicate in Tarot
Sky colors in Tarot imagery often hide small clues as to the meaning of the card.

Grey skies generally point to a level of variability. This neutral colored sky is neither bad, nor necessarily positive. A general rule for thinking about grey skies is: "Things can go either way when they skies are grey". It may rain, but it might also clear up. Which way things resolve will probably depend on other factors not explicitly referenced in this card.
A 3rd approach to reading grey-colored skies in a Tarot spread, which depends on the specific Tarot question or the specific Tarot spread being read, is that grey or neutral skies indicate balance and a state of being "in between" — or being stationary.
