The best way I can describe it is:

It seems that - I am 70-80% confident
- It seems like he wants me to apologize.
I am not really sure, I assume so based on his facial expression..
- It seems that our flight will be delayed for at least an hour.
The flight is already late 10 min, and several flights before that were delayed for an hour already, so you are a bit more confident that yours will be delayed as well.
Again, very very little difference, but hey, you asked for an example so here it is :)
