That I imagine depends on the helicopter. To solve this we would need a helicopter, some clouds, and some money. I have 1 of the three (it's a cloudy day in Georgia). However luckily the airforce has this one covered...

The summary is that the adiabatic downforce wins and the cloud will dissipate and that it is pretty dangerous for the helicopter.
