SVFR does not allow flight into IMC , just VFR as though the
Class B-E was G airspace. SVFR would interfere with IFR and
is only allowed when there is no IFR traffic conflict.

IFR clearances that stay within the airspace controlled by
the tower [including TRACON] are available for such purposes
as local IFR training and may be issued for enroute if the
airspace letters of agreement between adjoining towers does
not require Center airspace.

To learn about your local IFR options, visit the tower and
ask.
