Will it be rainy tomorrow?

I should write: No, it won't. or No, it will not.

Which one is correct, or both are ok.
 
Will it be rainy tomorrow?

​Should I [STRIKE]should[/STRIKE] write "No, it won't" or "No, it will not"?

Which one is correct, or are both [STRIKE]are[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]ok[/STRIKE] OK?

Both are correct. A more natural question would be "Will it rain tomorrow?"

Note my corrections to your post above, in red.
 
You could say what emsr2d2 said, or you could say:

Do you think it will rain tomorrow?

:)
 
Tarheel's suggestion is better than mine because it asks for an opinion. No-one, even the best weather forecaster, can say with 100% certainty that it will rain the next day.
 
The word "won't" is a contraction of "will not".
 
I wrote, No, it will not.
But my teacher minus my point.
So I am a little bit confused.
 
Did your teacher give you a reason?
 
If a teacher marks something as incorrect, they should always tell you why. You need to ask your teacher why he/she took away a point.

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!

Dear Parser
It's so nice to come across a fellow misanthrope! Welcome to the Grumpy Club.

Native speakers often use the contraction more often that the longer form. That is a good example of that.
