David,

Not to my knowledge.

Forecast times can be specified as Fhhhnn in the grid programs to access
grids with forecast times in minutes. If you are creating GRIB output
for decoding, GRIB will handle minutes. If you are using a program to
convert your MM5 to gempak,
then you should ensure your calls to TG_ routines follow the [type]hhhnn
(as shown in TG_CFTM).
