Wait! Normal clouds will show up on radar, but a cloud of ash and dust from a volcano doesn’t show up? I find that a tad bit hard to believe.

That is what is being reported. The news folks said it was because radar reflects off water and not off ash. Wouldn't surprise me, radar is temperamental about what it "sees".
