I hope the weather is/will be fine tommorrow

hello, there; could you please explain the semantic difference between the following two sentences?
"I hope the weather is fine tommorrow" and "I hope the weather will be fine tommorrow". Is there any difference between "is" in the first sentence and "is" in "tomorrow is Monday"?
thank you

Both are used and considered correct. fine isn't used much in AmEng for describing weather, but of course we recognize its meaning.

"is" has a lot of different meanings. Therefore, you might have to paraphrase "is" in different ways in different contexts. (I think this is what you are asking.)

I hope the weather is fine tomorrow. ~ I hope that the weather that occurs tomorrow

Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on what "you're" means, on what "beginning" means, on what "to sound" means, on what "like" means, ...

Well, you get the picture!
