What does [雲行]{くもゆ}き mean?


What does [雲行]{くもゆ}き mean? I looked this up on Google Translate, and it means
"turn of affairs" which makes no sense to me. I looked this up on Google
Images, and there are pictures of storm clouds.

My guess is that 雲行{くもゆ}き means storm clouds, but I'm not entirely sure.




雲行き means:  
① the direction of the clouds' move, and  
② the prospect of the development of an event.

"雲行き" is most often used in the way as 雲行きが[怪]{あや}しい (or [険]{けわ}しい), meaning
the thing (situation) looks (somewhat) precarious, for example:

> 彼と奥さんと、どうやら雲行きが怪しいようだ。  
>  The relationship between them (he and his wife) doesn’t seem to be going
> well.  
>  TPP交渉の雲行きが険しい。  
>  The prospect of concluding the TPP Agreement is thinning away.
