Hello, Ms. Yu:
I am sure that you have heard of the saying that Context is king.
Sometimes, the noncontracted form is more appropriate if you are angry or impatient or sarcastic:
James: Will it be a windy day tomorrow?
Mona: No, it won't. Now let's plan tomorrow's picnic.
James: Will it be a snowy day tomorrow?
Mona: No, it won't. Everything will be fine. Let's discuss the picnic.
James: Will it a rainy day tomorrow?
Mona: OMG, James! No, it will not! Will you please stop worrying so much? You are driving me bananas!
