Can "will" be used for probability
"There's a probability that it WILL rain tomorrow."
Also, what difference does it make when I use different modal verbs like would, could, and might?
"There's a probability that it WOULD rain tomorrow."
"There's a probability that it COULD rain tomorrow."
"There's a probability that it MIGHT rain tomorrow."
I'm really confused which modal verb to use to indicate probability.
Thank you in advance!

Krissy I'm really confused which modal verb to use to indicate probability They all do, since the future is always a matter of probability. Since you have added 'probability' to all all of your sentences, it matters little which auxiliary you use there.
