I think it will rain.
I think it will stay dry.
The opposite will be:
I don't think it will rain.
I don't think it will stay dry.
Reason - the sentences are about your prediction.
It might rain.
It might stay dry.
It might not rain.
It might not stay dry.
Reason - the sentences are about the weather.
Hope this helps

I would say that there isn't much difference between those two statements.
"I don't think..." implies uncertainty and that you are limiting the statement. "I think it won't ..." implies a higher degree of certainty, perhaps a high degree of certainty, given as an opinion (perhaps an expert opinion) but allowing for the possibility of disagreement from others.

It looks as if they are both correct.
I am not an English teacher.
