A fix for this bug is now available on the WRF Users Page.

Thanks to Eric and NCEP for providing the fix.

I think this is a corruption of only the 40km grids as I manually downloaded the 32km awip32 grids from the same time and it did work. Unfortunately, the 32km is not available on CONDUIT and I'd MUCH prefer using CONDUIT NAM grids rather than downloading from NCEP. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks.
