It’s not very good;

1- What does “it” refer to?

Does it refer to “weather”?

I’m afraid there’s a storm coming up.

2-What does “coming up” mean here?


Thank you

It refers to the overall weather situation and ‘a storm coming up’ means that a storm is to be expected shortly.

A fun colloquialism is:
“I’m afraid there’s a storm a brewin’.”
The storm is building up or developing.
