[AWIPS #GHJ-801255]: NSSL WRF 4km question

Hi Justin,

In order to add a new grid you have to add a navigation file and a reference to 
the grid, it's all covered in the document Adding a New Grid to EDEX:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l-bYkog_tmBQTj_x887q6QNFFtudaGfWIPIc7Q1b9wc/edit?usp=sharing

Once you have the new definition file in 
/awips2/edex/data/utility/edex_static/site/OAX/grib/grids/ and the reference in 
/awips2/edex/data/utility/edex_static/site/OAX/grib/models/, you will have to 
copy+edit existing menu XML files in the localization perspective (or you can 
directly edit the base localization files on EDEX but that risks deleting your 
changes when a "yum groupupdate" is issued.
