1. A weather forecasting system, comprising:

  • memory for storing satellite image data defining a plurality of samples, each of the samples defining a satellite image;

    at least one processor configured to compare the samples and to identify a cloud within the samples, the at least one processor configured to track a rotation of at least one feature of the cloud at a top of the cloud based on the samples and to identify an updraft within the cloud based on the rotation of the at least one feature at the top of the cloud, the at least one processor configured to determine at least one variation of the identified updraft over time and determine a parameter indicative of the updraft based on the at least one variation, the at least one processor further configured to predict an occurrence of a weather event in the future based on the parameter; and

    an output interface configured to provide an output indicative of the occurrence.
