Overcast or overcast weather is the meteorological condition in which clouds obscure 95% or more of the sky.

Overcast happens when the entire sky becomes covered with clouds; hence the word to describe it, overcast. Sometimes clouds can be different colors such as black or white, but overcast usually refers to gray.
