If you are flying under part 121 then you can't start the approach but § 121.651 Takeoff and landing weather minimums: IFR: All certificate holders. is going to be the regulation to reference and allows you to continue if you are passed the FAF.
(c) A pilot who has begun the final approach segment of an instrument approach procedure in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section, and after that receives a later weather report indicating below-minimum conditions, may continue the approach to DA/DH or MDA.
