Steven,
I'm not talking about clouds, I'm talking about thunderstorms. If the
thunderstorms are that embedded you'd better have your own radar,
storm scope available. ATC radar is usually ok is spotting
thunderstorms although they seem to also pick up false returns.

He can't put you anywhere, he can ask you to go somewhere. You can say
no.


If you're going to refuse to enter clouds why are you operating IFR?



Besides he'll usually see the CU on his radar too.


He can see precipitation on his radar, he can't see clouds.
