~ Type 1 conditionals, basic uses: If the weather clears, we'll go for a walk.
Study:
1 We can use all present tenses after if, not just the simple present, for example: If she finishes work early, she will go home. (if + simple present + will) If she has finished work by 4 o'clock, she will go home. (if + present perfect + will)
2 We can use all future tenses in the main clauses, not just the will-future: If he doesn't hurry, the plane will have left by the time he gets to the airport.
3 We use Type 1 conditionals to describe what will or won't (probably) happen: If the weather clears, we'll go for a walk. (Not "If the weather will clear")

~ If + present + modal: 'If it's fine tomorrow, we may go for a swim.'
Study:
When we use will in the main clause, we are expressing certainty or near-certainty:
If the weather clears, we'll go for a walk. (certain, or nearly certain)
If we do not feel 'certain' enough to use will, we can use another modal to say what is possible,
necessary or desirable, for example: If it's fine tomorrow, we may go for a swim. (it's possible) If it's fine tomorrow, we must go for a swim. (it's necessary or desirable to do this)
Write:
