Andrew,
I'm in basically the same position you are–a beginner with this type of 3DS
rendering. Your best bet is from others here who have already replied with
helpful suggestions.
As I understand it, the basic challenge is to edit your materials (clouds map)
for desired transparency, to use ray-tracing in your shadows, and (optionally)
to consider using a mask over the cloudless areas.
Good luck,
Lee
