  • Probably is more definite than possibly. eg I can possibly come if I can get my work completed. but I will probably come...I'll let you know if I can't.
  • Probably connotates more towards the negative, while possibly is more towards the positive, if you catch my meaning. Really, there is no difference, only what we think it sounds like to us.
  • Probably means that something is probable, which means the odds are in its favor. Possibly means something is possible, which has nothing to do with odds or how likely something is to happen, but rather that it *could* happen, because it is not impossible.
  • Probability is when effort is combined with achieving a goal. Possibility is more hope and less effort.
