Spanish term

con la lluvia anunciándose

Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature género: cuento
Los días de invierno anochece muy temprano. Cuando hay nubes en la costa y el mar se pone negro, a las cinco de la tarde ya está casi oscuro. Ése era un día así: nublado, medio gris y medio frío, con la lluvia anunciándose y olas con espuma en la cresta.

(Isabel Allende 1942- "El hombre de plata")

with the rain making itself heard

"announcing itself" sounds awkward in this context. "Making itself heard" might fit better.

the threat of rain looming
