ABOVE them? In G class?

Sure! Near my airport is a very large body of water. It's not
unusual to see stratiform clouds form in the morning after sunrise
with bases of 300 to 500 and only a couple hundred feet thick east of
my airport and the airport be severe clear for VFR departure.

Of course class G ends at 700 at my airport so in most cases you won't
be legal to be 1 foot above them but get a little further out where
class E starts at 1200 and it's something worthy of experiencing.

Very localized conditions but they are clouds :-)
