I was read in Torah Tavlin the following:
"Chazal tell us that the darkest clouds contain the most rain."
Does anyone know where the source for this Chazal is located?

דכי אתא רב דימי אמר אמרי במערבא נהור ענני זעירין מוהי חשוך ענני סגיין מוהי
Translation:
As when Rav Dimi came [to Bavel from Israel], he said: "They say in the West [i.e. the Land of Israel], 'Light clouds, little water. Dark clouds, abundant water.'"
This follows a statement that R' Y'hoshua' understands this concept to be implied by the parallel verses II Sh'mu'el 22:12 and T'hillim 18:12.
