A student at Wisconsin modified my wrf2gem program for this purpose
maybe a decade or so ago, but another option to try would be to use cdo
(https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo/) to create a GRIB file, and
then nagrib/nagrib2 to convert to GEMPAK format.

Hello GEMbuds,
This is an age-old question (see link below from 1994)... and part of
the ongoing data-format frustration that has dogged atmospheric
scientists for years.
But, I'm wondering - can an interface be added so that GEMPAK could
directly read NetCDF files?
There is mention of such an effort in this 1994 post:

It would be nice to not have to carry around multiple file formats,
especially for large gridded datasets.
The next-best solution would be a quick program that could convert a
NetCDF file to GEMPAK via a 1-line command.
Thanks for any suggestions, and my apologies if I've just not kept up to
date on recent developments.
Best,
Gary
