Default Alternate minimums same as forecast weather

Does anyone consider it somewhat dangerous that at your alternate
airport, the weather can be forecast to be as low as your alternate
minimums? Seems the potential for problems.

For example, using Carlsad California CRQ as the planned alternate,
where the VOR-A is the approach you plan to fly if necessary (assume
the ils is out). For a cat C aircraft, the alternate minimums are
1000 and 3. The approach minimums are 972 feet height above airfield,
and 3 miles without dme.

So is this all ok?
