I've found one benefit to reading the bulletins is they give context to how they are generating weather probabilities. They may say there's a 50% change of rain 5 days from now, but then you learn this is because computer model "A" says 100% chance of rain, while computer model "B" says 0% chance, so they split the difference. Or maybe they say chance of rain is 80%, because model "B" is often off in this specific weather scenario.
It's also fun when some major storm is coming in and they are like "PWAT values are over 2 inches... this is historic!"
