비가 올 것 같아요. vs 비가 올 지 몰라요. vs 비가 올 수도 있어요.

어떻게 뜻이 달라요?

1) 비가 올 것 같아요. = I think it's going to rain. = It will probably rain.
2) 비가 올 지 몰라요. = I don't know if it will rain. = It might rain.
3) 비가 올 수도 있어요. = There is a possibility that it will rain. = It could rain. = It might rain.

I tried to use the most literal translation first, but in the lessons I am reading, I also see the word "might" used to explain all of these expressions.

I feel that 1) is more probably than 2). In 1), the chance is very good. In 2), I don't know one way or the other. And 3) seems to be the same as 2.

How are they different?

감사합니다!

    They don't have any difference. They are rather, exactly the same expressions!
