Narrative:
We departed for ZZZ. Enroute; dispatch notified us that we had lost the alternate to weather. I sent a message to confirm that we had a new alternate and were good to continue. Dispatch confirmed ZZZ1 was our new alternate and that we had the numbers to continue. When we reached ZZZ we shot the ILS to a missed. ATC vectored us back around for a second approach. The second ILS ended in a missed approach. We requested and were given direct ZZZ1. Enroute to the alternate the fuel levels went into the amber range. We continued and when we were in contact with ZZZ1 approach control the fuel went into the red range. Once the fuel reached the red range we [advised ATC]. A few minutes later we landed in ZZZ1. The flight plan was based on weather that did not show visibility less than 6 miles and ceiling below 700 ft. That day the weather went to 0/0.
