There is a lot that we don't know. For instance, we don't know whether it rained in Seattle yesterday. That means that there are a lot of possibilities that are, epistemically speaking, open.
What are these epistemic possibilities? So, for us at least, there is an epistemic possibility where it rained in Seattle yesterday, and one where it did not. They do not match up with metaphysical possibilities - there are various cases where something is epistemically possible but not metaphysically possible, and vice versa.
