Clouds are just water. It's like trying to weigh steam. You wouldn't really be able to do it, because it floats, due to the fact that its density is so low (lower than air), and the air it displaces is heavy enough to raise it. But this doesn't mean gravity has no effect on it, just that gravity has less of an effect on it than buoyant force.
As an answer, I have to say that I don't know, but it would be exactly the same as steam, and would vary depending on the size of the cloud

The water in the little cloud weighs about 550 tons. Yes, it may not seem like it but clouds are huge masses of water vapor condensed and gathered together, making it kinda heavy.
