If you have a GRIB file from the wrfpost program, you can convert it to GEMPAK 
using:
"cat gribfile | dcgrib2 -d - -v 1 YYYYMMDDHHfFFF_wrf.gem"

The above will create hourly forecast output files and log the decoding to
the terminal window so you can view the output.

Depending on whether you changes the modeling center number the above will 
decode the
WRF parameters. If you have over-ridden the modeling center ID number, then you 
will have to create
your $GEMTBL/grid/cntrgribX.tbl entry and associated 
$GEMTBL/grid/"centr"gribX.tbl files.
