Live Weather seems off

Hello all. I made a flight yesterday from Indi exec to Northeast Ohio Regional yesterday, and the metars were showing it was overcast at 7,000, as was the satellite imagery on AWC, however when loading the flight in MSFS (first flight load) it was clear. winds were there and all, but no clouds. in fact I didn't see clouds till I was just outside of Cleveland and then it was almost overcast when the metars were saying scattered at 3000. the altitude was right at least. my question is, why is this happening? i've not had the greatest luck with the weather being spot on as it should. am I missing something?

If and when this happens, Asobo advise to select a weather preset at the World Map screen and then in-game use the drop down menu to select Live weather.

I've been doing this and it seems to work well. I didn't realize that Asobo was specifically suggesting this method, which means it's not just an urban myth!

i'll give it a shot and see what happens
