"There will be
a heavy rain tomorrow." Incorrect.
"There will beheavy rain tomorrow." Correct.
The reason why the first sentences is incorrect is that "rain" is an uncountable noun and an uncountable noun is never use directly with "a" or "an".
An inch of rain fell in an hour
An inch of rain fell in an hour.
Hope this helps!
