I use a meteorology radar to find the cloud. You just have to remember the azimuth (this one was on the north-east).

Cumulonimbus clouds are very large clouds (especially the anvil) capable of lightning, heavy rain and hail. All of these can be found on actual meteorology map.

For example here:  postimg.org/image/lnr7057kb/

The top of this cloud (anvil) is in green-blue, heavy rain is in red and hail is in white color. Lightning is usually detected near the red area (on this map lightning detection was disabled)
