-(으)ㄹ 수도 있다 vs -(으)ㄹ지도 모르다
Is there any difference between -(으)ㄹ 수도 있다 and -(으)ㄹ지도 모르다? I mean, it's the same if I say for example:
비가 올지도 몰라요
and
비가 올 수도 있어요
Or the meaning is slightly different?
Thanks!

They both mean something might happen or a certain possibility exists, and they are both widely used.
One small difference is that -(으)ㄹ 수도 있다 seems to be a better choice when you speak with authority or when you''re taking responsibility for something. -지도 모르다 sounds more casual, like coming from a bystander.
For example, if a doctor is telling the patient about the risks of surgery, they are more likely to use -수도 있다, as in 수술은 싶패할 수도 있습니다, rather than 실패할 지도 모릅니다.

fellow learner here. I would guess:
비가 올지도 몰라요
I don't know if it will rain
비가 올 수도 있어요
It may/might rain.
Will look forward to a native response though.
