Is it probable～？

Is it probable that he was there at that time ? Does this sentence make sense ?

I'm wondering the word of "probable" has an interrogative sentence.

It's not wrong, but it sounds a bit awkward, and unnatural, like something a lawyer might ask.. I suggest eg Was he probably there at that time? eg Was he probably there then?
