Another thing to keep in mind is that just because it says that its overcast at 2200 feet, it doesn't mean that its overcast at that altitude in the direction the approach path is coming from. It has to do with how ceilings are measured along the entire horizon circle. The ceiling is reported as the lowest cloud layer or layers covering at least 5/8 of the sky, and its not necessarily a continuous layer.
