I would not recommend using LDM to download part of a file, but it would
probably work to pipe your LDM requested file to a script which parses
out the first 48 forecast hours. There are so many different ways and
methods to do that.
For example, I would use Unidata's NCL scripting (see
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/).

Is there a way to decode only some of a model forecast period?
I'd like to get the forecast output of the gfs 40 km but just out to
forecast hour 048.
If that is possible, how is it done?
TIA,
