It may rain today.
It might rain today.
Maybe it will rain today.
However, might works as the past of may, so if Robert says he may come over tonight, you report it like:
Robert said he might come over tonight.

Hi,
The thing is, modal verbs express modality, and usually if you want to express modality in the past you have to use a model verb + perfecc form, thus you have:
Gabriel, you should study for the test. (my teacher telling me to study a week before the test)
Gabriel, you should have studied for the test. (my teacher talking to me after I took the test and failed it)
