It isn't going to keep on raining, is it?

Weather forecast

-------------------

Man: Oh, what are you predicting for today? It isn't going to keep on raining, is it?

Weatherman: No. I predict nothing but sunshine for the rest of the week.

-------------------------------------------------

Is "raining" a verb or something else?

What does "It" refer to?

Does it mean "The weather will not continue raining, is it?"?


Thank you
