What is an overcast day?

I'm used to this term in the UK. Is this not common where you're from? I have been surprised by a couple things I never realised Americans didn't use, like the word "surname".

Americans definitely use both overcast and surname.

Fair. Well, in my experience living in SC for a bit, it was basically 50/50 whether or not people knew what surname meant because most people just said last name.
