Is it ok to use "might" instead of "could"? What is the difference between "could" and "might"?

Good question! "Could" and "might" have similar meanings, and are both used to express the possibility of something occurring. You can use "might" here without changing the meaning of the sentence. Generally, the difference is that "could" means something is possible but does not really discuss whether it is likely or not. Meanwhile, "might" has a bit of a stronger feeling that the event/thing will happen. Ex: She could be late today. => possibility of being late, but no comment on how likely it is Ex: She might be late today. => possibility of being late, with higher chance of it happening
